Seeing all these truth ads that give all these nice stats about smoking going down, but now the ad is all about the companies getting rich off of sales.

Just comes off as anti-business. Bad strategic move by these people.

Who gives a shite as long as it gets people to stop smoking? Only an idiot or someone profiting off of tobacco would care about that.

Speaking the language of the only dumbasses still left smoking.

The people smoking now know it's killing them and they're still doing it, so might as well try a new tactic.

I've noticed this too.

Something bad is happening in our country and I worry we will soon fall into a redistributive society. Where did we go wrong?

Not at all. Killing yourself by smoking is idiotic, making bank off of those idiots is good business.

How is that the same?

Alcohol has health benefits in moderation.

Alcohol in excess is deadly.

Both are bad for you.

Tylenol in excess is deadly.

Do you see my point?
