They are everywhere. Gruesome looking tumours on TV, Gross sounds and scare crap on radio, Buses, trams, trains, posters in malls, shops, bus stops.
I don't want to see them and neither do smokers.
What's wrong with getting some people together to make an ad that isn't a scare tactic for once as people just disbelieve them now since reefer madness and prohibition bullshit.
What i mean are a series of ads from the government that show quality of life without smoking. Not disgusting shit that people change their view from or change the channel. Quality of life or whatever you want to call it, I don't know much about advertising or film making but people that do should get together and make a series of ads that leave an impression. A short ad, that doesn't say "QUIT QUIT LOSER YOUR DEAD U HAVE NO LUNG LEFT AND YOUR PEEPPEE WONT WORK!!!" as a lot of smokers will think oh well its been 20 years i may as well keep smoking if i have already caused damage from that first puff out the back of the dunnys at 11.
I dont exactly have answers or ideas but anyone doing Bach of Arts or something like that should work with some people in marketing at a university and write and direct a nice series of ads that shows, getting older shouldnt be about taking 50 pills or coughing up crap and generally being very unhealthy.
of course. i know everyone is different. i happen to know a 90 year old that sings professionally, is in great shape, with it mentally most of the time, fought in WW2 and still goes on holidays often. and he smoked from 10 to 50.
so i guess thats why, if i was a smoker, seeing a 40 year old cough blood into a tissue on tv would not make me stop smoking it would only make me depressed.
