    What's up with NBC's recent crusade against smoking? All those 'The More You Know' propaganda pieces of shit have all been about cigarettes lately.

    I mean, I dont like cigarette companies(or cigarettes)...but still...

    I always thought that the "more you know" ad time was purchased by some anti-smoking group, financed by tobacco lawsuit money. Or, here in CA, by cigarette tax money.

    Besides, you've got all these Truth comercials, and now NBC is jumping on the bandwagon, I've seen a bunch other anti smoking comercials too. Meanwhile, it's against the law for cigarette companies to put on comercials.

    That's bullshit if you ask me...

    half of the commercials are paid for by the tobacco companies cause they have to do anti-tobacco ads and say please do not use or product or they get sued. now thats crap when you have to run ads against yourself

    Hey Howdy Folks! -Its me Lumpy, Gabby went home for a while. Shes got her own account now. I just wanted yous to know that this post was commin from me. I hope yous guys dont get fooled. Them adds are for your benifit. The tobaco companys have for years been changin chemical formulas to make your tobaco LESS potent and MORE addictive. They been doin this IN SECRET! They never wanted yous to find out and you never woulda if big tobaco had their way. They fought legaly for decades to keep adds like these from publik view. Its ads like these that finaly bring a breath of truth to the tobaco propaganda machine. In reality they have lowered the potency of tobaco so you can work productivly and they have increased the addictivness to keep ya smokin. Tobaco wasnt ment to be smoked all day. It was susposed to be a nice li'l "high" at the end of the work day or after dinner. Cigarrettes werent suposed to hang out of your mouth while your workin or while ya take a shitt. -The goverment has accepted the dishonest tactics or the tobaco companies because the tobaco companies pay lots of money to the govt. Please dont smoke. Dont start. -I quit 5 years ago when my wife was diagnosed with emphasema and I quit to make it easier for her to quit. She wound up still smokin. THATS HOW FUKKIN ADDICTIVE IT IS! The doc told her shes got emphasema and she still CANT quit. Please pray for my wife. Pray that she quits. She dont wanna smoke but they stuk all kindsa addictive chemicals in her tobaco to keep her smokin! Another thing to remember, the tobaco companys are in cohoots with the govt, if you dont smoke, you dont feed them as much. -Please dont smoke these goverment issued cigarettes. Everytime ya buy a pack your puttin money in the hands of the leaders of our political system. These cigarrettes are sanctioned by the goverment, wether openly or not, theyr sanctioned by the govt. Think on it young Folk.

    if weed were legal and less expensive i'd never touch another cigarette in my life. i'm not really addicted to them i just like them. i've heard that tobacco used to be alot stornger. people used to not smoke whole cigarettes at a time, they used to take a few drags and then put it out and go back to work. it really would be nice if you could get actual tobacco.

    Isn't there a cigaarette company that sells 100% tobacco cigs?

    Like their slogan is 'No Bull' or something like that.

    I still wouldn't touch them though, at least not at this age...
