it's a good message presented in a non-stick-it-down-your-throat, intelligent, matter-of-fact method. Plus, if you like Sufjan, you should side with him on this, he was the one who agreed on his song being used.
i dont get why people think the "tar" in cigarettes is the same as the "tar" used to pave roads. sure, cigarette smoking is bad for you, but that doesnt justify lying to people just to try to further your own platform. the "tar" in cigarettes isn't even black, its the ash that makes the blackness on the lungs. wiki it if you don't believe me
@jakegreen477 I think he was just noting the facts. I'm assuming you lost someone to a smoking related illness and are now crazy defensive about the dangers of smoking?
i like the way the video was shot but as for its purpose, it may work on some but 20 a day for 40 years? that really won't scare casual smokers into stopping. I mean 20 a day is excessive my friend smokes two a day so she'd probably just brush this commercial off.
scare tactics work, and they use them in other countries outside of the US (where i live). have you ever seen a UK ad for texting and driving? it works, but here we get offended so easily when PSAs are just trying to keep us safe and healthy, like this one about smoking.
wouldn't you rather throw up the tar than have it build up in your lungs and slowly kill you? I think it shows a fantastic point by showing that it's the equivalent to all of the tar you've been sucking into your body.
Very true. But I feel like most people will watch the video, say, "gross!" and dismiss it. I feel like it has to really hit hard on a personal and realistic level rather than in an exaggerated way for people to actually be affected by it.
Either way, it's a good video for an anti-smoking stance, but I just don't think it's REALLY convincing anyone to cease or never start smoking.
i actually thought it was a pretty powerfull message. It may seem outlandish but it pretty much is giving us a glimpse of what smoking does. Yes you will probably never puke tar... but just the idea of it being in you is absolutely disgusting and thats what this video is supposed to do, make people feel grossed out by what they are putting in their bodies.
I thought that was a brilliant advert, it probably got banned though.
I guess they chose that song because its juxtaposition makes what's happening in the advert a lot more poignant. There's also the irony of the line "I can see a lot of life in you".
