Those comercials piss me off. It makes me want to smoke more in the hopes that those assholes will die from my second hand smoke.
 Hell, I even started dippin' again....Now I rotate between smokes and chew. |

Rabid anti-smokers, just like animal rights people, and anti-gun people, only make me smoke more, eat more red meat (esp. veal), and buy more guns and ammo.
I'm an adult - leave me alone!

Ditto. I have no problem with smokers. And I have no problem with smokers smoking in a resturaunt as long as they are segregated. Those "guy on the street" scenes have got to be BS. Most New Yorkers would be flipping them off and telling them to stfu. |

Yea, its the tabacco companies fault that some fucking crack head bitch smoking in the house with her babies. These Truth guys are actually worse then smokers themselves! At least smokers admit they are addicted. These asshats just want lay blame elsewhere.
Step up and take responsibility for your actions. Its that simple. |

The whole issue disgusts me.
There's no way anybody who smokes can believably say they didn't know it was bad for them before the truth ads were aired. And yet, the government compels the tobacco companies to advertise against themselves. Yes, they're the ones who fund, produce, and air them. And of course, the companies did what they could do in that situation, which is to carefully make the most annoying anti-ads that filled the legal requirement they were hit with. The whole thing is a big ugly mess, and nobody comes out right of it. |

I rarely smoke, usually only cigars on an occasion, but I hate those ads and I make me almost want to start smoking just to spite them. But I'm smarter than to just waste my money and health on cigarettes, but I hate those ads. Companies have every right to sell drugs, and people have every right to put whatever they want in thier own bodies.

Those assholes need to realize that everyone already knows that smoking is bad for you (Hell, they knew it when I was a KID!). All they're doing now is being loud and obnoxious for no good reason.
But hey, that's what liberals do....

Actually those ads are paid for by the Tobacco companies as part of a lawsuit settlement.
I have to give them kudo's for thier brilliance, really theyre just damn good at making people want to smoke. Before I knew that these were made by the tobacco companies the ads made me want to start smoking to spite those hippy assholes, and now that I do know that the tobacco companies put them out it only makes me want to pick up a pack MORE just out of sheer respect for the pure ruthlessness. |

Oh, they're the real deal. I was working in San Francisco when they had the toy babys - hundreds of them - crawling around Market street. I saw it with my own eyes. These people are nuts. Like animal rights and environmental activists, they are socialists who appeal to a common emotion to advance a hidden agenda. They hate corporations more than they hate cigarettes. |

I hate 'em, too. Just remember, WE aren't the ones they are targeting.
They are trying to brainwash the young, impressionable folks by beating it into them. Notice how you don't even pay attention to it after a while. You've seen it so many times that you don't even have to look at it to know what it's about. If you think you're pissed off now, just wait 'til the anti-gun people come up with their own version of them.

+1 & then some. Generally, the only time I have ever smoked is 1 cigarette on the 3rd thursday of November...the day of The Great American Smokeout, the American Cancer Society promoted "quit smoking for 1 day" event. Don't care for the taste/smell of it but my FU contrariness gets the better of me when finger wagging self righteous scolds are involved. The "Truth"  commercials make me want to chain smoke a whole carton of unfiltered Luckies & put them out in the eyes of the soap dodging hippie assholes from the ads.

There was an episode of South Park where the boys took up smoking in retaliation for a dumb anti-smoking event held at their school.
 Troy & Matt got it right again. I'm not a smoker and I avoid being around smokers, especially in poorly-ventilated areas. That being said, I can't stand those commercials. Others in this thread have already said it-they are anti-American, anti-capitalist, etc. etc. You can bet those same dorky kids are smoking dope and going to clubs, standing there with that "Duh, look at me, I have a beer" expression on their faces. And yeah, we can probably expect more commercials slamming anything constitutional and pro-American/pro-freedom. Scott |

I have seen them, but honestly...these fools probably go out and have a couple beers after a hard day's photo shoot. I chose to smoke, and it's not their fault that I do. They make it seem like the tobacco compaines are out there trying forcing a smoke down every man, woman and child's throat.

Me too. They are the ultimate in "nanny-state mentality" I never understood how taxing the cigs more (or liquor...or any "Sin tax") which is supposed to discourage buyng the product, AND raise money supposedly to be used to fight the problems caused by the products. I'd like to see the books where all the tax from cigs are being given to hospitals and such. I'd bet it ain't happening. No Expert Edit spelling |
