Smoking Ads Ineffective

Monday, November 6, 2006

According to the American Journal of Public Health, children age 12-17 had stronger intentions to smoke more after viewing ads encouraging parents to talk to their children about smoking. What do you think?

Joel Meyer,
Gunsmith
“I'm appalled when I think back to all those heartfelt discussions I had with my kids about the cool fresh taste of Salem Menthol Lights.”

Cathy Wegman,
Systems Analyst
“Interesting. After reading the findings of this study, I have a strong urge to ignore them.”

Brian Plumber,
Cashier
“Any chance they’ll start airing PSAs where parents tell their kids not to date the 50-year-old guy who works the night shift at Stop & Shop?”
