Yeah, it's the "tobacco company advertising that is causing the increase in adolescent smoking", in their wet fascist dreams, it is! I'm with you. I am the daughter of a MILITANT anti-smoker, the most puritanical health-nut to put ALL of these control-freaks out of business for life, and what did I do?? Of course, I started smoking because it was way cool to do whatever she was hell bent on me NOT doing. My point is, I don't WANT kids to smoke, but these idiots are almost guaranteeing that their kids WILL smoke if they make it "cool" enough by being so butt-wrapped about it. The reason there is an explosion in kids smoking (and we all see it at the movie theatres) is that the Hillary Clinton/Nanny-No-No's of this world have made it the forbidden fruit of the age.It's positively CHIC now for teenagers to light up a Marlboro because of all of these nagging Hillaries riding their cases about this.When will we ever learn?

short answer - NO.

I'm with you - I don't want to see kids smoking - but the way they are going about doing it is WRONG. parental responsibility - talk to your kids. The health nazis have this idea that we are unable to be parents to our children.

I have a mother and father, I don't need the government or the health nazis to try and replace them.
