 Did you know smoking cigarettes can cause cancer, along with other varied illnesses that may lead to death? The FDA wasn’t sure if you received the message through it’s already numerous anti-smoking campaigns, so they are adding yet another one. And this one is by far the most ridiculous, not to mention the biggest waste of money yet.

Some advocates of the campaign say it is young teens the graphic ads are really targeting.

It will undoubtedly become a game. I can just see the teens huddled in a corner of the park saying, “Okay, who has the guy with throat cancer? I’ll trade you a crying baby for it.” These labels go above teenager’s heads. No teen who thinks he is cool for smoking is going to see a picture of a dead body on a cigarette pack and think it can be him. That is too far in the future for a 15-year old to think about.
