Anti-smoking ad from Australia (experimental)

[chachies]

This kinda reminds me of a 16 year old girl I know who will actually search the sidewalk for half burnt cigarettes and then smokes them. 0__o She burns the filter first, but still so desperate and pathetic. It's sad how far people will go just to get their fix.

[SnarkLicker]

What they should do is make television ads where smokers are constantly assailed by stinky, mentally ill, semi-violent homeless people on the street every time they light up, because that's basically what happens if I smoke outside where I live. Some frightening psychopath who hasn't had a bath in years will stop rambling incoherently to himself just long enough to lurch his way over to me and start flailing and shrieking at me to give him a cigarette.

[SnarkLicker]

And then, once I give them the fag, instead of going the fuck away, they decide that I'm their best friend and they invariably launch into a disjointed speech about Jesus, usually delivered less than an inch from my face and at a volume common to large construction equipment. When I quit smoking, it will be because I've been put in jail for finally snapping and strangling one of those cocksuckers.

[TimeBringsDeath]

i hope they get you first and may be you should listen to them when they talk about god you need it i was homeless and those cocksuckers as you but it help me get back on my feet so you snapand strangle your self

[ClownFight]

We have a number of really gross TV commercials aimed at smokers here in Australia. It pisses me off because they put them on during lunch and dinner even though only 15% of Australians smoke. I don't see why they can't take their names when they buy cigarettes and then send nasty pictures and videos like this to their email. Why the hell does everyone else have to watch this bullshit? If you're a loser who smokes this crap wont make any difference.

[ShellVitalis]

the thin line between entertainment and war

[OliverAB]

Im just saying, diapers are grosser than cigarettes. And actually, this commercial IS trying to say that one would look trhough the trash for an old cigarette to smoke, seeing as he FINDS AN OLD CIGARETTE AND SMOKES IT. It's saying that is that gross, and that people do it. Its wrong in both ways.

And, who looks like a douche here? Me, the smoker who hasnt rooted around in trash, or this antismoking tool who HAS rooted around in trash, just to be pushy about his opinion. EL OH EL!

[KittyFuller]

..(O.<)Dude! im not even that deperate for a smoke!!!=0 probably never will beD= that was gross

[tinanguyen573]

why do people care about smokers??? let them die! fuck'em all. Yes half of my family smokes, and my dad died from it. Even so, I still say "oh well" - because if you smoke, you need to die(to many idiots on earth as it is). I mean, what reason could you possibly have (other than trying to be cool) for intentionally putting smoke inside your body?? dumbasses..

[kalebder]

i agree, but i care about my so much

[OutsidersGreaserGirl]

We can help their life, and my Grandfather died from smoking! FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!

[chickurken]

I don't smoke. But some people smoke because they are soothed by it. Been a long day, have a puff. It lowers your heart rate and breathing intensity. Chwing gum pretty much does the same thing

[youradork101]

your a JACKASS. if your heartless enough to say oh well for your dad then you are a Freakin BASTARD. i hope you* die. i am completley against smoking i try to get my entire family to stop smoking but im not going to say oh well to the people i love. if you had kids and they grew up to be smokers are you going to be like i want you to die? i think second hand smoke has gotten to your brain

[underageplayer]

lol

[RuggedLike]

hahaha how irrelevent can you get?

[AB5309]

still wont stop me cause i wont go to that extent. why put these shitty adverts on here.

[Two40DRYFF]

die happily

[AB5309]

yes we all will. that is the point of life. we will all die eventually. do you think that you are some sort of god and will live forever.

[3raven]

to die is NOT the point of life! if it were, life would already be non-existant. Life has no opposite, it is primal. The opposites are BIRTH and death. They both happen as a situation within Life. Eckhart Tolle reminds us to "Forget about your life situation for a moment and pay attention to your Life."

[3raven]

Life goes on forever, I AM Life.

[3raven]

plenty of people DO go to this extent, but, you must be "better" than them, right?

[AB5309]

how i see it is, you enjoy life to the fullest no matter what people say cause 1 day we will not be here. eat, drink, smoke, be merry even get laid as long as we have a good time doing it. there are things when we get older and we turn round and say if only i had done this or that. i am living my life the way i want to live it which is all of the above.

[3raven]

no this or that for me! no regrets, looking forward only!

[AB5309]

you will have regrets. as we all will

[3raven]

I am just not open to that sentiment. Instead of saying "I wish I had not done that", I can see the mistake(in the present) and decide to do something different. Again, not looking back, to the past but seeing(in the present) the result of what transpired, and decide(in the present) to(in the future) make a new choice.

[AB5309]

put is this way if you type in antonio puerta or simon o'donnell or even mark vivien foe. you will see what i am talking about. and why we should live to the fullest. may they rest in peace. live life to the full cause you might not be here tomorrow. once you do watch them come back and tell me again why i should stop smoking.

[3raven]

i dont remember telling you anything about what you should or should not do. get a grip! youre obviously living in the "no". instantly disagreeing. i am not disagreeing with you, just giving my viewpoint. .......................... peace, brother

[pakipwnage]

you can still have fun in life without smoking. Smoking takes away years of your life you could spend with your grandchildren. Maybe you will miss out on many great things in life because of smoking. Just quit dude, I smoked for 4 months and I guit 4 days ago.

[shurednichso]

You could die with 39 , because of cancer . I mean , ok , you could have grandchildren with 39 ;D

[AB5309]

i wont stop unless i want to.

[manspants]

ur a cock bagging son of a bitch

[AB5309]

so you have met me then. did you enjoy it.

it starts to get repetative when people comment back to me.

[malswam]

Wow, i used to do the same thing. Nicothin is more disgusting, and a lot harder too quit than heroin.

[OliverAB]

No one has ever overdosed on nicotine.

Nore has anyone ever had deadly nicotine withdrawls.

Heroin is MUCH more addictinve, you can become vitally dependant on it with just one use.

Smoking is bad, and it causes sickness in later life, but heroin is far worse.

[ct7368]

actually it takes more than one dose to become addicted to heroin and

alcohol is the only drug whose withdrawals alone can kill a person.

[OliverAB]

Actually no, it depends on the person with heroin. My best friends old best friend got addicted after shooting up once. And heroin withdrawls CAN be fatal. The reason you get addicted s because your brain stops producing natural dopamine, and if you're withdrawl symptoms are too heavy, you have the potential to enter into seizures, or have cardiac arrest which could prove fatal.

[ct7368]

OK My comment was misleading. By the time most people get to the point of injecting it, it's a full-scale addiction with dangerous withdrawals. It does take more than one dose to experience real physical dependence. You are right, everything depends on the person.

I work with an addiction psychiatrist and he says alcohol is the only drug whose withdrawal ALONE can be fatal. If you find a source describing death by opiate- withdrawal please provide so I we can discuss at work. Thanks for replying

[JustinFromSydney]

Your "best friends old best friend" may be lieing, or may have had their words twisted before they got to you. Alcohol and Tobacco cause the most damage to society, yet they are both legal.

[KEVINKRUD]

@JustinFromSydney

So true i smoked cig's for 3 years started smoking weed when i quit to help with the cravings (no spin) and after about three months i wasn't smoking anything. I have have the occasional cone now which is like once a month at a party or mates but the best thing is i have no craving for cig's. Before hand i didnt smoke weed so i guess try it if you dont do weed.

[Mayo1206]

eww people that is gross

[GorRose]

damn.

[araleztri]

Neither are smokers, you breath in more toxins and carcinogens with your windows down in peak hour or walking through a major city than you do from being around a smoker. Being obese does hurt people, who picks up the bill for obesity related illnesses when they can't afford health care - the tax payer. At least the tobacco taxes more than cover the bill for smoking related illnesses.

[Kitz2194]

i saw this man in my country who is mentally derange who do the same thing as this dude does, looking some use cigar in the garbage and use it!!

its just disgusting!

[OliverAB]

WHY DO YOU PEOPLE THINK THIS IS A GOOD AD?!?

NOBODY HAS EVER DONE THING EVER!

I smoke, and the worst ive donw is take old cigs and roll them into a new one.

Fucking A people, smoking doesnt make you a crack addict.

[owencarter1973]

Oliver my good man, you seem to have missed the point of the advertisement that many people find the habit of smoking just as disgusting as mould, urine stains, used condoms, dirty nappies, etc. I'd be interested to know what you think of the toilet variation of this ad.

[OliverAB]

I'd be interested to know why people who don't smoke are so angry at companies that don't affect them in any way at all.

If you smoke and get cancer, then sure, sue the tobacco companies.

Right along side the people who eat 20 bigmacs a say and get horrdly fat.

And really, honestly, smoking is about as gross as a campfire. And probably a lot less harmfull to your lungs.

[araleztri]

I couldn't agree more, I think it's far more disgusting seeing a morbidly obese person walk around with there fat gut hanging out or wearing next to nothing at the beach than seeing a person having a smoke.

[pedroetcr]

I´ve never been robbed, but I hate thieves... I don´t smoke, but I know how bad the habit is.

So now, why do I hate thieves? Because maybe, someday, they will steal my sister´s money, or maybe, they will kill my son...

Hope this was an answer simple enough, cause doing those questions just makes look like nicotine already took your brains out, dude...

[OliverAB]

So...

You dont like smokin cause one day you're afraid that cigerettes will take moey from your sister and kill your son?

[youradork101]

its not really trying to say that people do that its just saying that cigarettes are freakin as gross as all those other things in that trash can

[OliverAB]

You need to suck it up if you think a little bit of smoke around your face is as gross as a diaper that a baby shit and pissed in.

I mean, which would you rather have in your face? Would you rather I blow smoke in your face, or rather I would rub a shit stained, pissed covered baby diaper all over your noggin?

[youradork101]

i would rather have neither. Jack ass

[JackassMike007]

lol youre right dude... id rather have to smoke a full pack at one go then havin to touch shitty diapers and used condoms

[xxMEREOxx]

Is this a real ad..?

It doesnt look like it but i hope it is..its really true

[lisa3535]

lol i like it! it would be better though if it was a girl going through the trash.. a really girly girl.. going eww.. oh gross.. than picks up the cigarette and smokes it..i think it would have more impact that way..that's just me though

[99FLYBOY99]

brb just goin for a fag

[meantexanguy]

Well thats definently not going to stop me from smoking, I buy my cigarettes

[yasumi07]

My coach died at 48 from lung cancer. That stopped me from smoking.

[meantexanguy]

Well some people die from it and others dont, im not trying to minimize your loss but in Iraq its kinda hard not to, at first if someone offered me one i would refuse but then i did it constantly.

[reaper4087]

wow thats disguisting
