Schieffer added: “And it seems to me as front runner you would have a responsibility of not to take that kind of a tone. I would suggest that perhaps as the front runner, you would want to raise the level of the campaign.”

I think that Schieffer missed one of the major points of the ad. First, many are still talking about it. Second, the government interference and take over of personal responsibility is, to me, the major point of the ad.

Everybody knows that smoking is detrimental to your health, and is a cancer risk. But it is smokers who light up and put the cigarette or cigar into their mouths; they have the responsibility to make that (bad) decision. They do not need to be ostracized for their bad habits. Let us all get the government out of our lives; it is overkill for those who decide to smoke.
