"No one is going to stop smoking because tobacco executives are pricks, they'll quit smoking when you tell them plainly and articulately about what smoking does to their bodies."

I am 16, so I'm pretty much the target demographic for this kind of campaign. I tried smoking once when I was eight years old (I lived in a bad neighbourhood), but I've never been someone to do something I don't like--and the smoke was more or less disgusting. I've never smoked once since then.

HOWEVER, I have--rather, had--friends that smoke. A lot of them. Cigarettes and weed, some of them one or the other, some of them both. I have told as a concerned friend, plainly and articulately, what smoking (both substances) can do to their bodies. Do you think by now, after well over five years of health classes (it starts in grade seven here in Canada) that they don't know what it can do?

I think any approach that's different from "it makes your lungs black" ("well, black is my favourite colour"), or "it gives you cancer" ("what the f*ck doesn't, eh?"), is an improvement. Because really, it's not working. People know what it can do. People also know that heroin is bad for you. But if it's cool and all glorious to do it, then they're going to do it. Anything that takes away that "coolness," or general awesomeness that they feel when they do it is good.

Personally, I like stupid.ca campaign, since it puts the whole thing in perspective, which most campaigns don't do.

Anyways, that would be my 5cents.

I'll let you know if I make any lasting relationships. But I think I'd have more luck with a dating site if I was looking for a relationship :]
