You mean, GASP!, a "Just say No!" ad campaign just might discourage kids from doing something?

Hard to say. The same report shows that for the first time, teen marijuana use is greater than cigarette use.

First of all, just because this drop coincided with an ad campaign doesn't mean one caused the other. And not all ad campaigns are created equal; did the anti-smoking campaign, for example, use the argument that smoking would cause one to gun down one's friend (as a recent silly anti-pot ad did)?

I've never seen a "just say no" ad that was remotely useful for stopping anybody from doing anything. Most of their anti-smoking ads give me the jones for a butt.
