To me, it just feels like these kind of images are only for the benefit of people who already don't like smoking, so they can start a smug conversation of how wrong smoking is and how under-educated and foolish smokers are compared to them.
Don't you think that would cause the more rebellious of people to start smoking anyways, just because they know it's a big deal if they do to people? If it wasn't made into such a huge issue, I'm actually convinced young smokers would be cut in half. |
Sure it would.
Especially young guys into heavy metal. They might see it as an added boost to their image carrying a pack like this around. It's like an instant "cool" points thing in their world I'd venture.
Look, I agree with you. These images only provoke the rebel in young people to come out and say F you.
