They use puppets in this ad and it is not clear (to me at least) if they are teenager puppets or young adult puppets. And the stat they throw out that I quoted in the thread title makes no mention of any demographic information whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll still never smoke myself, though), but even at my most 'GODDAMNIT THERE'LL BE NO MORE SMOKING" point in my life, "truth" commercials just always pissed me off. I don't know, maybe it's because we're adults. I'm sure most of their ads are targeted to kids, maybe kids respond to them better than adults do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberbully Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I saw that ad and was like "that's fucking stupid" I'm a 3% nicotine now and the next step is zero....Aftet that it's just getting rid of the habit of sucking on shit in my mouth.....Which might lead to dicks...I dunno....Haven't quit vaping yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the one with the old woman with the hole in her throat that had that scraggly voice. "I had my first cigarette when I was 13..." If there is only one reason why I have never smoked in my life, that ad is probably it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimModSponges Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The truth campaign is funded by the tobacco industry to advertise to children using reverse psychology. Their campaign several years back where it was kids begging their parents to talk to them about why they shouldn't smoke directly influenced an increase in youth smoking.

That sounds more like an anti-weed campaign you're describing. In my lifetime parents have never had any trouble telling their kids why they shouldn't smoke cigarettes.

GunStarHero Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 That whole campaign has been stupid. There were some decent ones years ago but now it's just puppets blaring horns at each other talking nonsense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professah Tex Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I don't know those truth campaigns rarely ever seem to be presented truthfully, the last one I saw was trying to make vaping sound 4x as dangerous.. I went back to cigarettes before they started so I havent looked into them really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpgamer Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Yeah, I'm mentally screaming a lot of "citation needed!" for those ads. The accompanying one with the "one juul pod contains as much nicotine" blah blah blah also bugs me. Like, ok? And you're just... trying to make a 1:1 comparison between pods and individual cigs? I'm no smoker or anything, but surely one vape pod is meant to replace more than a few cigs, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
