    I am not sure if it is a good campaign. I don’t smoke but this makes smoking look cooler than most of the old smoking ads I have seen.

    I remember seeing a faded, sun bleached poster of this on the wall of our guidance counsellor’s office and thinking, those animals look so adorable. Didn’t make me want to smoke but also didn’t make me not want to.

    I just don’t understand how people accept smelling like absolute shit all day. idk if they think they stop smelling the moment they litter the street with their cigarette butts but that shit stays on you for the rest of the day and when you walk around you smell how an ashtray must taste. disgusting.

      It pretty much stays on them 24/7. They get desensitized do it but yeah, they just smell like shit 24/7 and you can smell it pretty far away

        I have a disabled neighbor that I help out around the house every now and then, she’s been a smoker for decades. Long enough that she had to get tracheotomy so she breathes through a hole in her neck. Hasn’t stopped her from smoking like a pack a day. Because of her disability and advancing age, a very kind neighbor built her a house and gave it to her for free. Her smoking has ruined that cute little two bedroom, to the point that everything in there is stained nicotine yellow, and reeks. That house will just have to be torn down when she leaves, because they’d have to gut the entire thing just to get rid of the smell. It’s disgusting, and the fact that she got that house for nothing makes me all the more pissed about it.

    It’s even cooler when it’s forced on you violently and without consent.

      Absolutely! Look at this chimpanzee. Dude has heavy thoughts, and he’s ready to write them all down. He probably does slam poetry on the weekends. His girlfriend’s parents hate him because he is broadening her mind in ways they find uncomfortable.

        When I was young and feeling invulnerable, the heavyweight wrestler for our university (who i worked with) told me I looked tough and cool with a cig hanging from my mouth.

        He didn’t really have the capacity for dry sarcasm. I remember thinking that was not a good thing to tell me. Especially bc I knew that I wasn’t “cool”. I was a dork.

            Last i knew, he was selling corn and soy seeds around his hometown.

            Based on my experiences, he was a good dude. I have my own opinions about big ag, but I heavily doubt he sees it like I do.
