Philip Morris compares smoking to eating applesauce

[rorrt]

This is quite a touchy subject in my house...my father had to go into rehab for apple sauce addiction...

[xujessexa]

i couldnt stop lol

[OmegaX2Z]

As many posts have shown, some smart ass will come in here with a know it all trained monkey attitude, and declair it's not the companies fault, it's the buyers fault. Even though the company laced the cigs with addictive chems. You would think all this trouble would stop the companies from adding more bad things, after publicly being exposed with their own company records. But no. Now they add (wood glue) on the cig papers, ( for smokers fire safety), but screw their lives and health.

[kulan2]

This guy is a murderer. How many people has he killed with his products, How many marriages has he destroyed, how many children's lives has he ruined. My Nan used to smoke. Thankfully she gave it up but it is people like this guy who were responsible for destroying her lungs.

[sgthobbes2]

@kulan2 don't blame him

those marriages and children's lives are ruined because people bought his product

not because he made this product.

[kulan2]

@sgthobbes2 My Nan was very old when she last took those cigarettes. Do you really think she could just stop taking those disgusting products. The only thing that stopped her was shock after she began coughing blood up. A women her age still taking those disgusting cigs that produced tar on her lungs. Revolting.

[OmegaX2Z]

@sgthobbes2 No. He is to blame. Where have you been? Just 10 years ago, their company research documents were confiscated. It's why the USA government added a special tax. Those lives are ruined because this company not only knowingly made the product addictive with special chemicals, they had scientists bio-engineering the tobacco. Their OWN DOCUMENTS shown they knew it was lethal, it would harm your health, it would kill you, they documented their own criminal activity.

[inijames]

@kindofmagicmike  I think we are saying the same thing, basically.

[collegeman1988]

I think this guy meant if you smoke too much applesauce, you'll get cancer and die.

[ProjectMiddleEarth]

Because applesauce was found as the cause of death.  We all know that.

[NinjaDownUnder]

Right back when we all started questioning cigarettes these companies should have taken a different tact - "yes, they kill you but so do cars, alcohol, etc etc"... I doubt it would have affected sales much . Given what we know today, its staggering how many people still smoke

People know they can die on a plane but they choose to go on holiday as they will have a good time!



[smurfiennes]

and he said it with sooooo serious face - THAT makes it so hilarious! i wonder why he picked on apple sauce..... ???!!###@@@

[1955porsche]

profesional criminal

[kubalibre77]

I will never stop eating applesauce. In fact I am just eating apple sauce and smoking at the same time

[Grekerslund]

A great man, fuck the gowernment.

[KOmaSHOOTER]

Legalize Cannabis! Fuck You Philip Morris

[stefonamus]

Try smoking applesauce, you piece of shit!

[armoman92]

wow, that was awesome... i'm actually speechless right now

[corebare]

HE should have died by being shot with a deer rifle. What a liar. He lied with every breath he took so he could continue to make money. And we all know now they HE KNEW full well that nicotine was addictive. And he also knew they tried to make cigarrettes MORE ADDICTIVE and HID IT!!! - He's in hell watching his sons, daughters, grandsons and grandaughters smoking a pack a day and can do nothing about it. - They'll be with you shortly LIAR!

[fasteddie847]

I'll answer this piece of shits question for him at the end. Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes again

Did I mention the answer to his last question was Yes

If all you smokers want to watch a motivational video to help you quit just watch this video on youtube, "thanks tobacco you killed my mom"

[megatajikistan2]

Pure brilliance

[six80ususus]

LOL appleseauce is harmfull if you get too much what a dumbass!!! Yeah if you eat so much that you eventually drown in it.

[vantalge]

He's right. I eat a gallon of applesauce every day, and I'm a wreck.

[chrislucca007]

However, let me point something out - I did some statistical research on smoking and obesity and to my surprise obesity causes 2-2.5x more damage, lower quality of life, and actually has a similar impact on a person than 20 entire years of aging. Meaning if you aged 20 years, being obese would bring with it a similar number of medical conditions, not to mention costs.

[chrislucca007]

If this was the 1950's I would say he was ignorant, but in 1979? - Yah he's probably in Hell right now! God I hate the tobacco industry.

[Thirras88]

I used to smoke for six years, then when I start gym I simply stopped smoking. I just wanted, and did. Before this, I knew all the bad things a cigarette causes, I knew, and I liked it, I liked cigarettes, cigars, I just liked to smoke, a millenial habit. And now that I´ve stopped I can tell you because I´ve been on both sides. 90% of the smokers smokes because they want to, consensually with all the harm the cigarette can do. Just like a pilot with a Formula 1, or a fireman on his duty.

[Botany101]

I know I like my applesauce to taste like used filters and spittle and smoke. nom nom nom

[fasteddie847]

The answer to his last question is YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES,YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES.

The answer is YES

Did I mention the answer was YES

[waveali]

Wow. And they said Hitler was a evil son of bitch. Damn you must have to eat a lot of Applesauce to croak from it.

[janeknr2]

SMOKING GIVES YOU A SEXY BODY !!!!!

[fasteddie847]

@janeknr2 you're an idiot

[fasteddie847]

Fuck these scumbag mother fuckers. I can't believe somone could say something so fucking stupid. But that is their goal, even today that is their goal. They can't hide behind the fact that smoking isn't bad. Now their goal is to minimize the dangers. The fact is that nicotine is the most addictive drug, over cocaine and heroin

[chrisman737]

Tax the hell out of cigarettes!

[FourTwennyTHC]

@chrisman737 Umm Fuck you

[chrisman737]

@FourTwennyTHC, sorry, not interested.

[stupidgaylogincrap]

@chrisman737 - FUCK YOU CUNT! Cock suckers like you need to be shipped into space and filmed suffocating with lack of air. SMOKING is a CHOICE, The Tobacco companies aren't holding a fucking gun to anyone's head saying YOU HAVE to use this product. They're merely selling a product in which the consumer has a choice to buy. IT'S all about freedom of choice, SMOKERS Know shit ain't healthy, but still choose to use the product. It's also a choice to Quit smoking. ASSHOLE.

[chrisman737]

@stupidgaylogincrap said to me: "Fuck you cunt!"

My response: "Sorry, not interested."

[internalpeaceseeker]

i think the message is exess is lethal not the cigs but still i don't trust him lol

[dfinch218]

People knew smoking was bad then, they just didn't care. They still don't care! And what ever happened to freedom of choice?

[Andrewpeeonyou]

you cant die from eating to much apple sauce...

[LyadinDima]

I'm sure there is a way. Also, smoking is a choice, and a way to self-medicate anxiety. HOWEVER the addiction keeps you smoking because you feel that when you have a cig you are getting something good, like a reward.

Example: I like blowing smoke, blowing O's, flicking it, all that. Nicotine doesn't make me feel much different unless I'm really stressed. The initial "head high", "buzz", or "light headed-ness" doesn't happen anymore.

But I am in no way am I supporting this man or cigs.

[freeeekyyy]

I'm pretty sure you can die from having too much of anything. Its true that the amount of apple sauce needed to harm a person is much much higher than the amount of tobacco intake required, but that doesn't make the point untrue.

[roflcoppterlol]

That mans a saint

[LetsRollProductions]

Haha, well listen! You can die from anything! The thing is, some things increase your chances of dying than other things.

[NotaBeetleFan]

People who have fatal car wrecks die. If you have enough car wrecks you can die. Does this represent that fatal car wrecks are the cause of death?

[NotaBeetleFan]

Bread is dangerous. 100% people who eat bread will die. 80% crimes are committed within 24 hours after eating this stuff. It's made of 'dough,' of which One pound will suffocate a mouse. Bread is heated to temperatures that can kill a person within one minute. Countries with less consumption of bread have less instances of osteoporis. Authorities agree that white bread is void Thiamine (B1). Lack of B1 can lead to neuro disorders like Beri Beri. We should have a 300% tax.

[Helicon2112]

Eating applesauce will kill you huh?

Geez, what an ignorant son of a bitch.

Profits, that's all that matters. All the assholes at the top they knew the truth and looked the other way. This guy enjoyed a comfortable life and the expense of human life and is probably rotting in hell right now for taking blood money. What a wonderful contribution to mankind.

[EpicFailGirl]

Smoke and die sooner.

[Naturyl]

Anything for MONEY. That is why this lowlife is saying what he is saying. For a "living."

[kingnocomply]

if only people really knew.... thats all thats worth saying

[blugularis]

lying cheating illegal immoral sacks of sht!

[MRsuicide26]

Hey, wake up, what big corporation doesn't lie, it's all about the money.

[heisishe]

God hates this disgusting man and his soul will forever be abandoned to the sorrows and sufferings of HELL!!!! Some people really are WORTHLESS

[bastyo]

theres no such thing as hell or a god.

wake up.

[MRsuicide26]

Wake up, what big corporation doesn't lie?

It's all about the money.

[araleztri]

What he is trying to say is true and is the basic principle of toxicology - "Mere exposure does not equate to toxicity; it's the dose that makes the poison"

[anthonywbrown]

I don't know anyone addicted to applesauce.

[araleztri]

He wasn't talking about addiction, he was talking about toxicity which is completely different.

As for addiction, well, anything that makes a person feel good has the potential to become addictive.

[DaveSuperChannel]

@araleztri anything can be psychologically addicted where u feel like doing/consuming something because you are used to. What is generally called addictive however is physically addictive which means your body experiences pain when you do not use the substance. very different

[anthonywbrown]

I knew that you were going to make that point. What happened to your dose theory?

[araleztri]

What do you mean what happened to it? It still stands, addiction and toxicity are independent of one another.

[inijames]

@anthonywbrown It is absolutely the poison that makes the dose. The problem is not what's in tobacco, it's the way it is used. The damage is caused by combustion, and it does matter what you burn and inhale, it's bad for you.

[kindofmagicmike]

@inijames

it doesn't always matter what you burn and inhale, C6H12 and CH3 both burn to form the same products, likewise many things burn to form the same or at least some of the same products. However, I am not refuting any of the evidence that smoking tobacco is terrible for your health.

[sergiost]

If you eat applesauce everyday you don't die. If you smoke a pack of cigarettes everyday, maybe you do.

[DamnStraightM35A2]

yeah but you die anyways no matter what

[immortaltechpt]

but it matters how you die.... Or should I say it matters how you live...?

[Jordaanxxx]

@araleztri What he is trying to say is not true and is the basic principle of deceptive marketing and generating a confirmation bias against anything that opposes or may cause loss of sales for his industry. You know this, but maybe you smoke cigarrettes so you hold a confirmation bias aswell and will fight anything with the same stupidity as he did by comparing cigarettes to applesauce. Deceiver.

[dizz420]

you do have to admit he has a way with words!!! lol he is kinda right about 1 thing its anything COULD kill you but now instead of smoking we get beer commercials what a freakin joke then mc donalds...yes evil the lies they told us but maybe that should wake more people up to be more educated about what information we absorb. 1 question i have though is why are the deaths from smoking around the world smaller? marketing? less smog? what?

[NotaBeetleFan]

Being born guarentees that you will eventually die. Out of all births that ever occurred in the world, all deaths occurred within a space of time after being born. Conception has occasionally even lead to still births, miscarriages and abortions. All births occur within a space of time after conception.

Conclusion. conception leads to births or still births, abortions, miscarriages. Births lead to eventual death.

Conception is dangerous. It should be made against the law.

[freeeekyyy]

Right on!

[csipy5]

Now he is in hell and he's ass raped every day by the Marlboro man @C.with a pineapple .

[dabeshu]

this disgusts me. my mom smokes and i want to get her to stop. anyone have a convincing way?

[heydudedolfan13]

Yeah this may help, my mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was 8 years old and she was 34. She was in the hospital for 13 weeks for 95 holiday season, quit then when she was relased she started smoking again and Died in May 1997 at the age of 36 after a year and a half fighting cancer. Was a smoker since she was 14!

[dabeshu]

thanks, but i have even told her what chemicals were compiled to make the cigarettes to make the killer. i need something emotional...

[NotaBeetleFan]

Something has to happen to her personally to convince her it is the right thing. It could be something that happens to a family member, or watch a surgery, like my doctor did (he never smoked again after picking up a lung that sifted through his fingers like sand) or unfortunately, she gets sick. She has to decide to stop. You can't do it for her.

[AnatomicalDeadspace]

2008 - Philip Morris International's total cigarette shipment volume was 223.2 billion in the second quarter (alone).

CEO's are laughing all the way to the bank while sucker smokers are dying and children are being duped into smoking by Big Tobacco - How can anyone think this is OK?

[wiioui28]

lol, hes got a point. you can od on anything.

[QuentaSilmarillion]

Why not tax fat people... dont tell me they dont hurt other people. Do you ahve 25gs lying around for that gastric binding/bypass? Nope, who pays for that?! All of us. Same goes for a lot of things. EQUALITY ACROSS THE BOARD!

[anthonywbrown]

Applesauce is fairly low cal.

[GreatUmbrage]

When are the anti-smoking nuts going to shup up andlet us smokers enjoy our cigarettes in peace? I have a right to smoke, and I'm sick and tired of morons telling me it's bad for me. It's just smoke, people. Get a grip.

[bananabandit21]

i like tootsie rolls...

[imanerd36]

I am fully for smokers rights. I am against banning smoking in bars in restaurants. If it is their property, then that's their choice of if they want to ban it or not.

However, I am a huge advocate of preventing tobacco companies from getting new smokers which I believe was the point of making this video. Not to ban smoking entirely.

[freeeekyyy]

If cigarettes and cigarette companies are going to exist more than 40 years in the future, they depend on new customers. What you're talking about may not technically be a ban, but it is a defacto ban.

[SirPrizeSirPrize]

I work in a hospital and see many smokers. None of the patients I see have come in for applesauce related illnesses. Most started smoking when they were young and didn't care that each smoke took 5 to 20 minutes off their life. By the time I see them they would give anything for a few extra breaths. Some have had their cancerous tongues surgically removed.

Enjoy your cigarettes you poor addicts! I will think of you while I dine in smoke-free restaurants enjoying my applesauce!

[edgynerd]

So to Ron-Paul it: the government pays farmers to grow tobacco, then taxes smokers buying cigarettes, then tells people not to smoke, then pays medical expenses through Medicare (as long as that lasts)? It's all BULLSHIT. The government has no place, in any of it. I smoke and I would thank the government to get out of my life, period.

[drunkatnoon]

that is some fucked up shit..i can't fucking believe what i just heard, i will never eat applesauce again

[anthonywbrown]

Great comment!!!!

[HnkRamones]

Wow I smell A bullshit with this idiot

[oldcircleeyes]

that's amazing!

[phyillismontana]

what are you supporting? Assholes. Cigarette Medical Bills equal Tax dollars. . . . . not to mention all the other bullshit tax dollars are spent on. No more fucking apathy.

[nickyripper]

greedy corporate pigs

[NeonCross]

god damn i love cigarettes i really dont give a fuck ^^

[incubusquietdrive]

ummm yeah lol. how could you compare smoking to applesauce!!? HAHAAAA. Can he even sleep at night knowing how many people he's killing every DAY!? Funny he dosent even smoke. We need a more blunt warning on our packs. I saw a pack of marlboro reds from Ireland and the label strictly said "SMOKING KILLS".

[bus11]

He's not killing anyone. He produces a legal product that adults over 18 choose to consume; It is their choice to use the product that is harmful. We don't need more blunt warnings on cigarettes. I really have a hard time believing that anyone alive today doesn't know that cigarette smoke carries inherent risks. Many of use choose to smoke anyway, and we don't need some pinhead telling us how to live.

[incubusquietdrive]

I dont care, what he is saying is so irrelevant. Its kinda fucked up.

[amir565]

its not irrelevent, he has a point, many people die from being over weight because they are consuming too much sugar, or many people die from driving, why are we so hung up on smoking? its just another thing that can kill you.

[hunterlax9]

ya but dont buy fucking cigs if you dont wanna die.. its on the damn carton

[slabridin84]

I hate these tobacco industries try to make an argument.But he's right if you eat a lot of apple sauce over time you could get diabetes or high blood sugar.But Cigarretes contain nicotine which is proven to be highly ADDICTIVE.Apple Sauce is not addictive.If you smoke 100 cigarretes and say you eat 100 bowls of apple sauce.I know for a fact that you are 99.999% more likely to take on smoking as your new habit than die from apple sauce.

[BillyDOOM23]

Amen to that.

[obiwan521]

What a fucking wanker.

[k9feces]

He is just saying that people should smoke less then a pack a day.

[niksgrl]

that guy SUX!!! if he was alive 2day i would show him a piece of my mind. People DOOOOOO die of tobacco!!!! why cant you people realize that??????? YOU ALL SUCK!!!

[anthonywbrown]

We do realize it. We are exposing the stupidity of the tobacco industry messages that they have used for decades. I work at a cancer institute where we see the damage that tobacco causes on a daily basis.

[niksgrl]

let me clarify who sux....not you all....but HIM....he thinks that tobacco doesnt raise the risk of dying and that REALLY gets under my skin. In school i am the president of a group called SWAT it stands for Students Working Against Tobacco and this is probably something we could talk about.

[anthonywbrown]

Great to know that you are involved. It seems that the tobacco epidemic has gone under as an issue. People should be quite angry. Thanks for the clarification. Anthony

[jdm1982]

He actually makes a good point. Even with what we know today about lung cancer (etc) - smoking only raises the probability that you might contract one of the diseases if you don't die of something else. Everyone dies and on the individual level smoking may not be a smoker's most likely cause of death (for instance, if he or she rides a motorcycle). The increased chance of dying one way over another isn't a big cost compared to the pleasures of smoking, for people like me.

[alamadX]

hes a genius.. ppl like him fooled the world..

[torontobites1]

I wish he were alive today. Wouldn't it be cool to show him this. I wonder what he would say.
