I think most of you are missing the point. The adds main function is not as a fear tactic. It’s main purpose is that of a motivational appeal based on shame directed towards big tobacco, not the smoker. And whether you smoke or not the fact remains that if you are under 18 it is illegal and really that is where the truth campaign is invested, in the prevention of youth smoking.

I know that you think that having a commercial that shows body parts in all over the place was to have an affect on someone to stop smokeing but I think you reall went to far. I am not a smoker but I want to say you truly scared the sh– out of the children. I just saw the commercial of the women with no fingers and I am so annoyed that I wonder when you will do this to the DWI. Do you really think that a smoker does not know the danger they are in. Smoking is leagel in the United States. and every were else you are praying on the smokers go to the goverment and take you photos to them if you really want to make an inpact. This is the United States of America the land of the free ok so I get the fact that you want people to stop smoking but to scare a child that has a grandparent that smokes and has for 50 years is not the best way to do this I am sick of the media and the ads that you place on my tv for my child to see.
Its time to think of the effect it has on our kids before you put this on TV. This is the same group that wanted to ban furs and wore leather shoes.
I will not want the channels that place this kind of adds.

I like how your ads get people to think a little bit about how smoking can affect them in terms of lung cancer and death, but I do agree with the other few who commented that your ads don’t really encourage people to stop smoking because there are tons of other serious issues in the world. I mean, if smoking were really such a terrible thing, why then to European countries have smoking lounges for students in middle and high school? That fact alone doesn’t encourage people to smoke more, like your ads don’t encourage people to stop smoking. I will give you props for scaring a couple of my friends to stop smoking though, my dorm doesn’t smell so bad anymore!

I agree with Wynn, all your ads do is piss me off or make me laugh, anti-smokers are preachy little bastards, also everything causes cancer so you just have to live your life to the fullest because you’ll die soon enough cigarettes or not.

I hate smoking and so I designed these shirts. They say ‘Smoking makes you UGLY’ which is the truth. It ruins your skin, gives you ugly wrinkles and makes your teeth and hands yellow. That is so ugly and smokers stink. I hate it. The link to see my shirts is here http://www.cafepress.com/birkshirts.202000294

I am smoking right now, I’ve been smoking for 51 years and I love it. You people need to get a life and stop trying to control other people with your stupid advertisements.
It is none of your business. In this country you are suppose to have freedom of choice and smoking is what I choose.I would rather die smoking then to listen to your crap and your fear tactics. You are doing just what the current administration is doing. You are trying to create fear in people. Well I’m not afraid. When it is my turn to go, I will celebrate getting out of this f**k up world!!! So go feed your bullshit to someone else.

Please help, I am looking for the TV ads featuring the talking, smoking lab rats. I am sure they were put out by Truth. Maybe possibly send a link?

Hello. I have a 30 second ad, I’d like to submit. I haven’t seen one like it and it shows the benefits to quitting in a different light. The Ad will be ready in the second week of Sept. How do I go about submitting this ad to you?
