Who gave the State Of Florida the funding for it? Who is on the committee in charge of this?

If they aren’t being influenced by a tobacco interest, then they are completely clueless on how to convince people to not smoke. This is a horrible video, with you forced into the first person perspective of lighting up, sucking it down, and blowing it out.

You can have all the fancy graphics in the world, but if you make people want to smoke, when you claim to be doing the opposite, you are either lying or incompetent.

PURE TRASH!

That is not an anti-smoking ad.

IT IS A PRO-SMOKING AD, CLOAKED AS AN ANTI-SMOKING AD.

Any ad that shows actual smoking makes smokers want to have a smoke… one that is presented from the position of the smoker, actually shows the cig come up to the mouth, is clearly a cloaked pro-smoking ad.
