Cool advertising

Pretty neat if you'd ask me

It's advertising against smoking on your work. Januari 1 a new law starts in Holland, it gives workers the right to have a smoke-free work place.

Got any others?

too lazy to look for others, but those are pretty cool

Awesome ad. AWESOME.

I don't understand smokers...I mean, there is an addiction and it's hard to fight...but hell...YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. DIE DIE DIE. Seems like an easy choice despite the intangibles...

Well, sort of. Sure lots and lots of people smoke and end up dying from it, but lots and lots of people smoke and don't end up dying from it, so it's kind of untrue to say that if you smoke you're going to die from some cause related to smoking.

Plus, you might smoke and die in a traffic accident or something before cancer ever gets a hold of you. Then there's the point that just because you smoke doesn't mean you're going to live a shorter life than anyone else. Plenty of people get hit by cars, and shot, and everything else every single day (Which is what I meant).

Smoking might put something of a cap on your life expectancy, but there are many, many other things looking to take you out way before you ever get to that stage.

I agree with you 100%. But the chances of getting cancer for chain smokers is extremely high...

And there ARE many ways for a person to die...lung cancer is one of those things, and it's the one thing people can choose not to get. That was my point. The whole idea of CHOICE in a situation where sooo many people have died and no doubt WILL die from smoking just makes little sense to me. VERY little.

Nice ad... don't feel like looking for more.

As far as smoking goes, its just gross. That's my personal choice.

Canyarion · 11-14-2003, 06:15 PM

Too bad it always starts because kids wanna act cool.

And it's a fact that you live shorter and unhealthier when you smoke.

Today it was TERRIBLE. In the train somebody was smoking (while it was a smokefree train), I looked around but couldn't see who it was.
Later I stepped in another train and there was someone standing in the door smoking. So I said 'Hey man you're not allowed to smoke here' and he was like 'so?'

I usually say something when I see things like that happen... but I don't wanna get in trouble...

By "in trouble" do you mean "beat up"?

A lot of people dont die from it, Im sure they would if something else didnt get to them first. Nothing with over 1,000 chemicals in it, half that can kill you, is going to not affect you.

Lots of people are affected when you smoke. You, anybody you hang around regularly causing second hand smoke, people who are forced to smell your breath and hair (both smell like smoke), and if a soon to be mother smokes, her child can have a dangerously low immune system.

Smoking is like putting a cement block around your lungs.

Those kids wont look so good when their skin gets pale.

That's what make-up is for!

Yeah, anti-cigarette ads are always the best (and most eye-opening.) The TRUTH ads of course are very well thought out. I liked that one where they got a thousand people to all fall down at once. That would take a lot of time and effort.

The older BC commercials they had.. where guys were coughing up their lungs, and the dog would take them.. and then in another one, a dog would piss on their cigarette. Also, some real life smokers who had those throat-holes to help them breath were in some ads.

Overall, the cigarette ones are always the best.

Canyarion · 11-15-2003, 04:25 AM

Or the one where someone lights a cigarette and gets old within a few seconds.

Perhaps it was Dutch only...
