Graphic Cigarette Ads

On there way.

Hate cigarettes and I don't smoke...

But what's next? Selling chainsaws with pictures of severed limbs on the side?

How about a graphic of a wine-o throwing his guts up on side of a bottle of Merlot?

They didn't outlaw them...1 in 5 people still smoke. That's their right. The correct thing to do is show kids why you shouldn't start.

Speaks volumes about the power of addiction that people still smoke with all that's known about lung cancer.

And it's laughable how Philip Morris just goes along with everything. "You want us to put a graphic tracheotomy ad on our product? OK..."

Want people to quit smoking cold turkey? Exempt them from any ObamaCare benefits when they get lung cancer. They'll quit.

They showed a cancerous lung at that BodyWorlds exhibit, and there is a trash can there because they couldn't keep up with the number of people throwing out their pack of cigarettes after seeing that.

Leaving the abortion clinic you get a bag of bloody goo?

many other countrys have this..peru,mexico russia.ect..no biggie

leaving church get you a bag of semen?

I like the new graphic ads since I am a non-smoker. I think the ads will especially leave an impression on children and teenagers, they'll better understand the risks and dangers of smoking. A picture's worth a thousand words ... that's still true.

:eek:

One of the reasons why people smoke is due to rebellion. This will just make more kids rebel against overbearing parents/adults.

Under the new Obama health plan if a person is being susidized and is still smoking is the inflated premium on their policy picked up by them or by taxpayers?

I'd argue if by taxpayers; make smoking illegal for anyone not able to soley support the habit and associated costs. Looky Here Mr. Pres. the government actually taking care of the poor.

Also god not sure what semen has to do with the church unless you're talking about little boys?

Next up from our overbearing nanny state Govt. that truly believes Americans are stupid and need to be guided every step of the way through life would have to be a picture of Oprah nude on every box of twinkies.

The more I think about this the more P.O.d I get. Congress gave the FDA the power to pass laws last year in what bill? Why don't they put up billboards with the new warnings so everyone can be offended? Why just smokers? Believe me they will get around to every last bit of freedom enjoyed by anyone eventually. This has to be in violation of obscenity laws somewhere. Kids will be having nightmares. The Govt. makes more $$ on a pack of ciggys than the tobacco Co.s so maybe they should be trying to find ways to keep smokers happy, healthy, and smoking to help fund all the social(ist) programs they are busy dreaming up every second of every day.

Go to the mall, see what kids are doing to themselves already. Hope this doesn't lure them into smoking.:rolleyes:

For once, something good....
