>Cigarette commercials still legally aired in some countries
They're still legally aired here. EVERY "movie" and "TV show" with smoking is nothing but an advertisement.
Why are you not allowed to advertise cigs, but can advertise alcohol and prescription drugs?
>Why are you not allowed to advertise cigs
It is allowed, ads for smoking are all over TV
Last time I had a Winston was 2009 or 10, and they were one of the few cigarettes left that didn't taste like total ass or chemical compounds (even though that's what they were at that point). Glad I stopped smoking, but man I swear it helped me write like an actual writer should.
Those commercials are nothing short of terrifying. >undetectable
They might as well be saying, “Here, take this so you can go infect hundreds of other people over the course of your lifetime, so that we can make them dependent on our drugs, too!” There should be laws against this.
>cigs too expensive to smoke >gotta cut back
It sucks man. And my shroom guy is getting divorced so I can't hit him up for shit. This christmas would be RUINED if I didn't have a back up plan.
>no revenge fantasy kino were a guy goes out for blood and ends up killing hundreds of people to find the original infector after contracting AIDs from some charcoal pussy
Man, i'd pay.....5 bucks to see it in theatre. I really would.
Because any mention of the negative effects of alcohol causes people to kneejerk respond with references to Prohibition and icky religious fundamentalism. As for pharmaceuticals, it's because most people see medicine as "magic science juice" that can't hurt them, and therefore completely unrelated to the "wicked evil pushers getting youths addicted to drugs and causing them to do the criminality to each other".
Alcohol is advertised in Europe too, obsessed-kun.
They likely knew it wasn't too healthy though. At some point you'd notice that the smokers are the ones having respiratory issues more frequently.
Yeah which is what caused those studies to happen. That doesn't change the fact that doctors are people too and susceptible to the same vices. There are doctors out there today that still smoke, go to any ER ward and look for where the surgeons are on break; more than one of them will be smoking to relax his nerves and focus. Regardless of how unhealthy it is, nicotine does have its uses.
Only Americans are dumb enough to cry about smoking while loading foods with harmful chemicals and high fructose corn syrup, especially in food marketed towards kids. Then there's the fact that America is the only country where advertising prescription medications that have debilitating side effects is legal.
All food has chemicals in it, you don't know what HFCS is, and all western countries advertise prescription drugs on TV.

Is typical r/communism
Is that an actual lie, though? The studies on smoking-related cancer didn't really exist prior to the 1950s, and most people (including nonspecialist doctors) didn't know about them until it went public in the 60s. I have zero doubt that a significant percentage of doctors smoked back then, and have no reason to not believe they smoked Camels over anything else.
When I was 19 and trying cigarettes for the first time, I bought several brands. Winston's was by far the most gentle. Camel and Marlboro were rough on my virginal lungs.
I never picked up the habit because cigs are expensive as heck.
>expensive
That's why you learn how to steal, dumdum. Didn't your junkie older brother/cousin/uncle do ANYTHING for you besides teach you how to naked wrestle?
People shouldn't smoke anyway. I only do it because it's the only thing I enjoy. Why did someone make a thread about smoking? He'll just pass on his bad habit.
>Why is it only tobacco that gets so much propaganda dumped on it?
I think I know what the reason is. It's because they need wagies to be strong and work as long as possible. They don't actually care about your health, and they just want you working longer before you die.
my father told me about that commercial
SMOKE!
ARE YA SMOKIN YET
Imagine what it was like back in the early 60s during a meeting at the studio before this commercial got approved to air
Cigarette commercials still legally aired in some countries, even after they were banned in the US, but then they eventually got banned as well

not in the US
Yes, they haven't stopped making and airing ads for smoking

Cigarette censorship can be kind of kino
Cigarette commercials would surpass perfume commercials in kino
submitted for your perusal the cigarette a simple paper cylinder filled with dried leaves that brings with it both comfort and misery.

back then you could smoke everywhere. Now you can vape anywhere as long as its discreet. Which is the only reason to smoke them
It's been cool lmao, the best reason to stop regular cigs.

because no fun allowed
alchohol and drugs are no fun without cigarettes.
successful lobbying.
Stinking HIV medicine commercials with scumbags in every break.
Those commercials are nothing short of terrifying.

Tobacco = cool
Prescription drugs = gay
you can blow addreall and smoke like half a carton
I can and wish I were. Instead I will eat healthy and maybe go to sleep early. Life is suffering

don't forget about the HIV/AIDS homosexual commercials
Even with alcohol you can't show someone drink it
And prescription drugs you don't see someone abusing it and mixing it
Because Americans are moronic.

We all do things that we know are bad for us, guess it's the human condition.

the tobacco industry was too republican
Trust the experts
They would never sell out and make questionable endorsements for a quick payday or career advancement

It really was a different time.
same people that told you to get vaxxed also say smoking causes cancer. i don't buy it. ripping this heater
The Flintstones wasn't supposed to be a kid's show.
It's a living.
Dude haha that's wild *tokes vape* I mean like haha *tokes vape again for the five thousandth time spews fruity pebbles gay smoke everywhere*
Are there any gun commercials?
I wish
winstons are based, winston reds were my favorite cigarettes before i quit smoking

Are you guys all Australian or something? I thought it was only a problem in my country.
Nah ciggies are getting bad everywhere unless you smoke lucky strikes or some other GPC's.

You can say the same thing about alcohol or marijuana or any other vice. Why is it only tobacco that gets so much propaganda dumped on it?
