Smokes suck

Heheh, the Children See, Children Do amused me.

And I wants some Aussi M&Ms, dangit. Your flavors sound so much better than ours. We don't get crispy M&Ms!

Let's not get in to a tobacco law debate in here people.

Yes, yes they are, and also the chocolate in them is way better.

I hated people like that when I worked at the gas station. Canada has the similar rules to Australia it seems. I don't see how it matters, unless you have a really weak stomach.

The only reason they have a bendy cigarette is cuz, ahem, they can't put a... well, man part, on the cigarette box. ^^;;

But why not? Supposedly only adults can buy them, anyway...and only adults can buy porn... What's the difference?

[Lace Neil Singer]

You're asking the wrong person here. XD Personally, as long as it was a good sized one, what's the harm?

The idea of the gross medical pictures is to try and scare smokers into quitting. Or at least to scare kids into not starting.

I have absolutely no idea whether it works or not.

[Lace Neil Singer]

I would guess, no. Doesn't for me; just makes me more determined not to quit.

I want pretty pictures on my cigarette packs. I'm even getting bored of the pretty hot pink and black Camel 9 packs.

Every time an anti-smoking commercial comes on, I light up.

[Lace Neil Singer]

You too? XD It's like the anti meat videos; just makes me crave burgers. XD

In Australia we currently have the following commercials playing on TV as well:

-shortish ones going "Every cigarette is doing you damage" and different images each time, which from what I know are: stroke in the brain, tarry aorta (or windpipe?), gross-looking lungs and a few others.
-longer ones involving someone speaking about how said person is suffering as a result. One of them involves a man about to have an amputation of the foot below the knee and the other one involves a woman with mouth cancer who actually speaks. A lot of people complained about the latter and it was eventually pulled.

EDIT: Oh, by the way, I have nothing against those who do smoke, I just don't like the smell.

Yep.

I worry about the day they try some reverse psychology...

We have the bendy cigarette, a one stating that a small city dies of tobacco use annually (soon Nunavut will be gone forever at that rate :P), etc.
