The truth

Is this for real? Now lets be serious with commercials likes these. First and foremost I thought commercials with cigarettes were illegal to advertise. Although of course the argument to that would be it is an anti cigarette smoking commercial instead a commercial that advertise the specific cigarette brand. But honestly it is still technically advertising the smoking of cigarettes whether it would subjectively or objectively. I do not smoke but either way the message of this specific commercial is just down right disturbing. This commercial is a little extreme when is comes to getting the message across. The truth did loosen up a little bit with their new commercials and their animations in them. I think that is a lamer way to show that smoking is bad for you but it is a different message for example like smoking while being pregnant, which was one of their newest animations. The older commercials like the cowboy who lost his voice box proves it is indeed possible for bad things to happen such as losing a lung or get your tongue snipped but honestly what are the odds. It takes so much for that to happen. That is just my opinion; I have not looked at statistics or anything like that. These commercials might be helpful to some but not to all like I think they are intending to. They either scare you like this commercial, or make you be like what was that, was that really a smoking commercial? Like their newer animated commercials. I for one think these commercials are unnecessary.
