FACT Movement Anti-Tobacco Industry Ad: Candy Cigarettes

The concept and script for this video were developed by the Wisconsin youth featured in the video. The youth met in March 2006 to learn about the ways that big tobacco manipulates teens into thinking that smoking is cool. They then developed the script for the video. The youth are members of FACT, a Wisconsin-based youth movement devoted to exposing tobacco industry lies and empowering young people to make their voice heard in the fight against Big Tobacco.

[ancavalcanti92]

I've never heard a tobacco company say their products were safe. Every pack of B&M's I get have a warning.

"odds are that she started smoking after she had children." thats funny.

i think candy cigarets is a metaphor for kids talking about cigarets or the companies using candy cigarets to get young people started, whatever

if you want to look deeper, or have a mind explosion every anti-smoking add is financed by the big tobacco. why would any company trying to make money? i dont know if the were forced to by the government or they really dont care. it is a very addictive product and it will sell ..

fair enough point, but still. fighting lies with lies? if the commercial really was about candy cigarates, why call the commercial candy cigarates. and while i'm at it, if this commercial was even about kids smoking, why was the only person who died from smoking an adult? if she had been smoking as a kid, i doubt she would have lived long enough to have a health child. odds are that she started smoking after she had children.

so do the cigarette companies lie? or do anti-smokers lie more?

this is an old ad, in the olden days tobacco ads were everywhere. only in the last 5 to 10 years or so have the ad disappeared from every day life.

while i don't smoke, i still wanna know why the commercials always say "tobacco companies lie". i have yet to see a tobaco ad on tv, on a bill board, or anywhere other than ADULT magazines.

and lies? well, here's a fact: the title of this video is a lie, since never in the comercial did they say "Candy Cigarettes".

basically what they said was "tobacco companies lie! my mom died from tobacco lies" (note he wasn't sounding very sad) "so agree with us that tobacco companies lie!"
