Children Who Smoke Cigarettes Have Dolls Who Smoke Cigarettes

Faintly unsettling PIF from the pre-Jumping Man HEC (circa 1980), foreshadowing the PDFA's similar tactic in 1987, only with old-fashioned non-wacky tobacco as the focus. It's always creepy seeing children acting like adults, as Channel 4 learned two years later when it launched the Minipops (do not qv). Also, this PIF implies a sort of infinite regression. Dolls who smoke cigarettes have, I don't know, smaller dolls who smoke cigarettes? And then maybe those smaller dolls have nicotine-addicted termites? WHERE DOES IT END

@toadysux No I Didn't Say That But There Is No Denying That It's Child Abuse

[toadysux]

@ninjabluewings so you'd have children snatched from their parents because their parents have a bad habit?

[ninjabluewings]

I Think Parents That Smoke Around Their Children Are Selfish, Ignorant Cunts And They Should Be Charged With Child Abuse, Sure They Are Not Physically Abusing Them BUT! They Are Abusing Their Health

They're all smoking cannabis nowadays.
