Yeah, that was a popular one. I saw it three times in one day, on the same channel.

We had a guy with a hole in his throat from throat cancer come to our school and talk to us about not smoking in grade 5-ish, I think. It was kinda cool.

I don't know how effective it was, though, as I tried smoking for the first time shortly thereafter...

I think we need some statistics here... I'm sure A LOT MORE people die from smoking than from accidents...
Cigarettes in Holland are damn expensive. A lot of taxes on it.
