This picture is sickening. Remove it.
i agree with yumine this picture is sickening and TOTALLY disrespectful take this down at once.
I think you’re both idiots. They aren’t disrespecting those who died. They are pointing a using 9/11 as an allegory for the deaths caused by cigarettes.
How is this picture sickening? it clearly shows how many people die from smoking related incidents compared to 9/11.. surely that information alone would encourage a few to pack in smoking and ruining the lives of other innocent passive smokers.
i see nothing in this poster disrespecting or making fun of the 9/11 incidents.
Smart. Very smart.
Lucas and Yumine are obviously idiots. They probably smoke and don’t like to be reminded on the true fact that their government rules through the power of fear (smoking is more dangerous than terrorism, wake up!).
This is tasteless. Smoking is a choice people make. NO ONE who died September 11, 2001 (or after from the effects) had a choice. I understand the idea behind it, but the add is inappropriate.
BTW-for those who are looking to comment…I do not smoke, but I do have friends & relatives who have died from complications of smoking, including lung cancer.
Very smart idea. I dont think this picture is disrespectfull at all, it just shows some fakts.
i think you guys are really desrispectful about what happend
