PORTLAND, Maine -- The latest batch of anti-tobacco television advertisements created by Maine students features a guy with yellow teeth and a giant cigarette butt chasing children around.
The Department of Human Services had so much success with the original ads three years ago that Maine youths were tapped again for public service announcements that began airing Monday.

Ok!
I don't understand what your trying to say. I am not familiar with this movie.
C'mon now, rebellion? I'll remember that when someone's cigarette starts a fire.
This has been going on long before the anti-smoking Nazis came on the scene. Why is it that smokers feel that they have a right to litter?
If smokers were a little more courteous, I'd be a little more vocal about the crap they have to go through.
I'm sure smokers love 'meathead' for the 50cent tax.
It's a guy thing. My hubby used to flick them out the window. I would get on him about it. I don't do it, and my girl friends who smoke do not do it. It's a guy thing.

50 cents? I wish that is all it was!
I liked the beginning where the Hitler Youth were giving their little anti-smoking show and ended it with, "Hey kids, you can be just like us!" The look of horror on the kids' faces in the audience was priceless.
In the next scene, the South Park kids were outside smoking up a storm in the schoolyard.
Yuk! Probably why I am not familiar with it. I love comedy's. LOL!
Don't know how I missed your ping........I've got some reading to do here!!!!!
I'm only talking about meathead's tax that people voted for. I'm sure that tax has saved millions and millions of lives...
The best line by the Butt Out! Troupe, which effectively encapsulates the lies and demagoguery of the anti-smoking lobby, is when they say something along the lines of...
"Hey kids, do you think smoking is cool? How about lung cancer, and emphysema? Is that cool too? What about abortion and AIDS?"
And so on and so forth. Gotta love those South Park boys.
Maine: Next round of youth cigarette ads is unveiled (Get Ready!)
I'm ready !!
Good for you. Washing your hands will get rid of much of the residual odor, but it takes a full cycle on the washer to get it out of the clothes.
I'm a smoker and get mighty ticked off when I see a smoker toss a butt out of the car window. I have actually pulled over to the side of the road and made a passenger get out and find the one just tossed out the window. No one tosses a cigarette butt out of my car---that is what the ashtrays are for.
Now butts on the sidewalks in cities or states with smoking bans is an entirely different story. I asked a bar owner in Delaware why they didn't have an ashcan outside their door and the reply I received made a great deal of sense to me...."The state has forced me to kick my smoking customers to the street to have a smoke, I didn't want to do it but was forced.....so they can clean up the mess. The state created the mess, not me."
Umm, actually, it is. You see, we pay the taxes that support the hospitals that provide care to smokers above and beyond the statistical mean.
I think I know why the tobacco lobby goes along with it. It urges kids to light up as an "up yours" to the ads.
It has been proven beyond doubt that smokers pay FAR more into the system in the form of taxes than they ever take out.
It really irked Henry Waxman when the Congressional Research Service came up with that information, when at his request they looked into his proposal for further raising of the federal cigarette tax.
OK! I am back and forth myself! :)
I doubt if much has changed as far as death is concerned. People will die if they smoke or not.
And when the taxes become to high, and smokers are sick and tired of balancing the state budget on their backs, they will find other ways of finding cheaper cigarettes.
Many of us have.
