Every Cigarette Quitting Ad is Doing Us Damage

If they are so harmful, why do we have to sit through these sick adverts, yet cigarettes are in the most prominent positions for sale at supermarkets, newsagents, service stations... you have to walk right to the back of the supermarket to buy MILK, but you don't even have to queue up at the check out to buy ciggies. For once let me eat my dinner without vomiting, and do something about Point of Sale advertising and display of a dangerous addictive drug.

i can see where you going with this. and it sounds pretty good. my gut reaction was "fuck you" but then i thought...if your a smoker you already have a few favorite brands. so you know what you want to buy. i would say dont put them in unmarked packages as it would be difficult for both the buyer and the seller to find the correct packet

[Cyrius01]

"Unbranded" not unmarked. You could still say "Benson and Hedges" in standard font, not fancy packaging. Even with warnings (which smokers eventually just switch off in their brains) you get ciggies packed in the most elaborate, golden, embossed, opulent packaging with all the branding tricks in the book. Tobacco companies do this precisely to counter the warnings. I think two simple things, plain packets and out of sight POS, and sales would drop significantly.

EW SHIT

I like this video a great deal and find it to be quite true and reasonable. I am a smoker and, honestly, I wish I'd have had the will power to avoid my current nicotine addiction; the problem being, whenever I make a conscious decision to quit smoking cigarettes, my "last smokes" are ALWAYS the best. If cigarettes are so harmful, which I believe they are, why are there not more advertisements for cutting-edge quitting methods instead of a bunch of guilt trips? Perhaps it's the tax money.

@odakueffect Because they make so much money on it that it's one of the most successful products in the world. The government don't give a shit about your health they just want the cash

@Cyrius01 they should put a picture of canser on the front of the pack

[ad356]

the government DOES NOT want you quit. they want you to give them all of you money and dont care if you die doing it. i smoked for 10 years and im f'ing done with them. im not using an electronic cigarette. no reformulated tobacco, no combustion, no stink. instead just a vaporization process. much safer. user recieves 20 or less ingredents. nicotine is not the killer, but everything else in a traditional cigarettes is. keep e cigs legal and unbanned

@Yakovich yes were all gona die eventually but smoking speeds it up alot.
