PSA - Children see, Children do. (Made by me)

A PSA I made for multimedia class. The filming and editing was done quickly, so it's definitely not my best work but I thought I'd share it anyway.
Pretty ironic seeing as I do smoke, but it sends out a good message.

Smoker - My cousin, Dana Auld
Girl - My cousin, Brooke Lemieux

Oh and, I'm the biggest Lights fan of life. Just so you know, but nothing before Oasis, of course :D.

P.S. Unlike most people, I actually find a chick that's not afraid to smoke a turn on, so a + there lol.

@IamLav I actually quit smoking on friday haha, yay!

I'm bored right now. so I feel like ranting. Is that ok? By the way, I'm the same person :) That meaning, "rangedkid" is just my other account lol. It is of course common sense to not smoke, if you don't have to, in front of a child. But if you are walking down the street, it's pretty unavoidable, and if you're addicted to cigarettes and have kids, you are going to get noticed sooner than later. Just educate them about the harm and addiction, that's the most you can do I say.

@IamLav In that sense, it makes sense (don't know how else to phrase that, haha) because I know I pass by kids and I'm smoking and there's not too much I can do about that. I just meant I see parents smoking directly in front of their children. Whether they're in a stroller, or holding their hand as they cross the street. I mean, I understand it's an addiction but I don't think it's something you should openly do in front of your child.

Ok so something just totally tripped out, and if you could remove that ridiculous repetition of comments, maybe that wouldn't look so ridiculous LOL. Anyways, I pretty much agree with everything you're saying anyway, but even as a "non-smoker" (if I can even call myself that) I wouldn't be able to make a PSA like this.

@IamLav Thank-you, it could've been much better seeing as it was quickly done and I used Windows Movie Maker (absolute shit) but I'm moderately pleased with it.

@arockstarrr no you're great babe.

I LIKE THIS VIDEO ;)

@arockstarrr Yes but I was raised in an environment where every (almost) elderly person I knew smoked :P

I was still aware of the potential harm, and I personally don't smoke regularly but I will not deny a smoke when offered by a friend/colleague. My point is that smoking is done in public whether you like it or not, so children are going to be exposed to it regardless. You don't see people having sex publicly, but then again, cable TV has been exposing it without censoring for years.
