I doubt this campaign is about kids pushing the propaganda of pharmaceutical companies. If anyone bothered to visit the FACT website, they'd realize that.

I think it's about exploiting a statistic to harness anger and prevent youth from starting to smoke. I also think it's a clever tactic to target youth in such a manner, as 90% of smokers start before they're 18 years old.

It's not at all about cessation, NAZIs, propaganda, the richest people in the US or even prostitutes. Sorry, dudes.

great for teens doing something active and pro health. how often do we hear of teens giving up their free time to stick their necks out for a health cause? not often. I think the US needs more stories of positive teens, we have a lot to offer. I hear on the news about this teen that did blah blah and "where were their parents.." and here are teen volunteers getting excited about something that isn't endangering anyone and promtes a healthy choice. wtg! - from the west coast

It would be great with all the people who just smeared this youth-led campaign to stop tobacco companies. To tell youth the truth, saving lives is more important than breaking banks. Even if 8000 youth don't die per year, atleast some people are actually stepping up to try to stop ANYONE from dying.

i know this is probablt not a question i should be asking but does anyone know the song they play @ the end or is it justa song they made especially for the commercial

[francesev]

How can you call yourself FACT with this pure fiction. Totally ridiculous!!

Programs like this are a SCAM to put more money in the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies. I wish Americans would get a clue as to how they are being used by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the ACS, AHA and ALA.

Wonder why the top 1% get richer while the remainder of the population continues to struggle? Wake UP!

Great commercial. Does anyone know what music is used in this? Both songs are great.

I hope the people who belong to fact realize they are being prostituted by Big Pharma, the makers of nicotine cessation products.

Germany, under Nazi rule often indoctrinated their children as well. These children are being used to promote mythical deaths and feed the hysteria being spread by anti smoker fanatics.They are accepting authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority. These 8000 deaths are a computer generated number. The program takes garbage in and puts garbage out. No bodies are examined, they assume certain disease is smoking related and count those as deaths, no science is used.
