Imagine living in 2024 and deciding to start smoking, despite ALL the history and evidence pointing it being terrible for you and those around you.
Implying kids give a fuck about that stuff? Anything to look cool
Look like a hardened character from the favorite tv show and rebel against their parents or consider years of evidence. Which one is a kid more likely to do on a whim?
I think banning TV show smoking was a bad idea, I think we should allow it but as long as that character dies of lung cancer just like the kids that get encouraged by this shit will.
True, I tend to forget i’m more of the exception than the norm. I don’t just do things at the drop of a hat, especially if it costs a lot of money or could have long-standing repercussions, and I never would have rebelled against my parents. I don’t know how the people that do these things get by from day-to-day, it’s gotta be tough!
Trust me I understand!
