Do you smoke? Know anyone who does?

[Manda1219]

I saw the commercial for this site and I think it's GREAT. I used to be a member of TRUTH So I know quite a few facts about cigarettes and their makers...I could fill a book.
I love the way they spread their info, and their newest site Shards O Glass is GREAT. Watch the commercial. I'm probably going to order the shirt.
Some of the facts on the Truth site are kind of scary-but worth knowing. Just wanted to pass the word...(if anyone has ANY questions, PM me or post...I have a LOT of experience with and knowledge about smoking/smoking related illnesses/cigg. manufacturers, etc...)

PS-I am NOT trying to advertise anything, and I am no longer affiliated with Truth, I just think the sites contain important info for any teen/adult.

I do not smoke. I think it is disgusting. Sorry if anyone on here does smoke, but that's just my opinion.

I dont think so. I think they put across a message that most people can hardly even believe... and most people wouldnt just know that stuff on their own.

BTW, i obviously dont smoke either

That's exactly what I like about them. They give you the straight facts, rather than the "Tobacco is whacko!.....if you're a teen" (So I guess if youre 11-12, or over 20 its OK??) that Phillip Morris uses as a kind of reverse psychology.
I found out about Truth in 99 in a magazine ad. I really liked their message and I went to their website and filled out a form and wound up winning a free trip to Seattle, where we met famous people, got a free private Blink 182 concert, a LOT of free stuff, etc....And did a lot of campaigning-including making commercials and ads.
Without Truth I never would have known a LOT of really disturbing facts about cigarettes, and the companies that make them. I think they do a lot for preteens/teens and even adults.

I think the Truth ads are very interesting and are different from other non-smoking/no-drugs ads. Obviously I don't smoke either and I don't intend to.

I'm not sure I've ever seen the Truth ads, but I sure wish that people did a better job of cracking down on teenage smokers here in New Hampshire. All I have to do is walk into a bathroom at school to find about 5 girls smoking. It's disgusting, and causes some of us to have serious trouble breathing, just by walking into that room. Teenage smoking has gotten way out of hand, and something needs to be done about it. I do know people who smoke; they're not my friends, just people I've been in school with. Obviously I'm not a smoker either, and have never understood how people could smoke. But that's just me.

You probably have seen Truth ads before, you just may not realize it. Ever seen the one where they are sticking those signs in dog poo saying that something that's also in dog poo is in cigarettes? Or the one where they have a bunch of body bags outside a major tobacco company's office? There has been lots of them, on TV and in magazines, so chances are, you have seen at least one.

All I have to do is walk into a bathroom at school to find about 5 girls smoking.

It's like that in my school too, and I go to a Catholic school! The girls' bathroom always smells like smoke, and you can smell the smoke just from walking by it. We just had two girls who got caught smoking coke. One was expelled, the other wasn't but left anways (and she was also caught earlier in the year smoking pot). There are so many kids on drugs in my school, that it's actually worse then public school. It's just not right.

my grandpa was killed from smoking because he got lung cancer

 

[MagEpcDisAni Voyager]

I'm anti-smoking cuz I'm also Anti-Death (Unless it's Uma Thurman getting revenge on those who tried to kill her........sorrry if I just upsetted some Christians).

But some of those drug commercials like Truth can be a little retarted at times.

 

[nemo1987]

i think smoking is gross. it makes your breath smell and your teeth turn yellow and you can die from smoking. as for the truth commercials... dont get me started on why i hate them!!

[Roxter79]

I don't smoke. nor do I like people who do. I'm not into the whle TRUTH thing, but it's got a mesage. They get old after awhile, but hey so does like ever commercial.

 

[VollyBabe080]

yuck! my mom smokes . dunno how to make her stop.

 

[SDAngel101]

I'll be honest, I have smoked before, but just for the experience. If you think smoking is bad at your high schools and whatever, wait untill you get to college. Students walk to class smoking all the time, they sit outside buildings smoking, its just all around.

Everyone knows that smoking causes serious damage, but its like tanning beds.. everyone knows what it causes but choose to do it anyways. I don't think that the comercials help that much because I have seen about a hundred different ones and still smoked. Now I will let you know I never tried smoking untill I got to college and I was of age to do so, so dont get any ideas. And its nothing special, and it smells.

 

[CDoobeeJr.]

I love the Truth commercials. They aren't ********...they're, well, truthful.

Smoking is disgusting, but it seems the more people try to tell kids not to, the more they do. It's gross.

I just wonder...Has anyone seen the Dirt Cheap commercials? Now THOSE are ********, and they make me sick. Do you think they have a big yellow bird as a mascot to attract ADULTS to liquor and cigarettes?

What does Anti-Death mean?

 

[Princess1590]

I don't smoke, I would never even try it. i have relatives who smoke, and my friend's parents smoke.

 

[NiCoLe1259]

I never have and have no intention to smoke. I think it is absoultly disgusting. What positive benefits come out of it? You get bad breath, yellow teeth, smell like it all the time, and have a greater risk of cancer.

The bathrooms at my school are horrible too. Walk in there during any class and i can GUARANTEE you that there will be at least 3 people skipping class and smoking. By no means is my school the best (We had 2 bomb threats in 5 weeks) but I thought we had a little more higher class people in my school district until I got to High School.

 

[ThinkTink510]

smoking is DISCUSTING! and i think the people who do smoke should stop cause sooner or l8er there gonna get cancer or something. thats all i have to say o yea i dont smoke either

 

[i wish al was here]

all my friends smoke.......like every single one of them......but i don't so go figure.......
