Realistically... smoking should be banned altogether for health reasons

Yes, it wouldn't stop the issue. people would be buying tobacco on the black market.

But it's never going to happen... the tax revenue from smoking provides the backbone of many economies. Here in Australia, around 75% of the cost of cigarettes is taxes... Can you imagine what would happen to the economy if the government decided to ban tobacco altogether... No... NOT GONNA HAPPEN!!!

After this advert he stopped all together. People admired are very good tools to show people ethical behavior and unethical behavior.

I have 'buried' (not literally) friends who succumbed to ads in their early years.

There should be some sort of compulsory education which could even show the state of lungs of a term smoker.

That would probably half the likelihood of growth in the smoking population.

Tobacco companies advertisements are always the most successful. They make you believe smoking is cool. That's why so many people start to smoke even though they know all the harm to them.
