today i saw a commercial for a program to help keep kids away from ciggaretts and other drugs and alcohol. and if you call the number they will send you packets of information and help in keeping your kids ciggarette free. they kept emphazising(sp) the ciggarette free part too. you know who sponsered the commercial, and who started this program? Phillip Morris, the biggest tobacco company in the industry. what the balls is going on here? are they scheming something? why would they advertise against their own products? later.

phillip morris has to advocate smokefree kids, to avoid lawsuits and make it look like they really care. but really, the more kids who know about smokes the better, even if it is negative advertising.

ds91260, the truth adds against tobacco are extremely good and deliver a tangible message to minors. However, the truth commercials against marijuana are gay and filled with decieving lies.

for the same reason beer companies say drink their beer responsibly because it sucks when you are drunk on there beer, drive home. and smash into a mini van full of nuns...because you are drunk on there beer, they look bad

the ciggaretts companies know thier products are the same as injecting some rat poison into your blood every day. They dont want kids on that. But once they turn 18 they cant stop buggin them about their ciggaretts and how good they are...

phillip morris can suck a camels cock while i stab it with a rusty spoon in the eye. cigarrettes should be made illegal and weed should be legal. just have the tobacco companies switch over. whens the last time youve heard of somebody dying from marijuana? mm hmm thats right. and tons of people die everyday from cigarette related complications. america is fucked up. and yes i am being an opiniated bastard, leave me alone.

yeah itsbackfliptime, marijuana might have more tar in it, and im sure it does. it doesnt have any added toxins in it like most all cigs do. and that brings me to my next question. why do cig companies put in the toxins anyways. why not just make it pure tobacco? they are killing their own loyal customers. tobacco wouldnt be so worried about if it was just tobacco.

ok first of all the commercials are part of the lawsuit settlements, the big tobacco companies HAVE to do it. Secondly marijuana has now been found to contribute to mouth, nasal, throat, and lung cancer. your lungs are meant to have oxygen in them, they turn black and cells are damaged thanks in the most part to the smoke itself, be it from pot or tobacco. the other additives in cigarettes dont help, but they also have additive free cigarettes. the only thing pot has over tobacco is that it is not physically addicting(both are mentally addicting). Pot will not be made legal because it impairs you. contrary to many cigarette smokers beliefs cigarettes do not calm you down they are stimulants, they actually speed up your heart rate. cigarettes will not be made illegal thanks to the tobacco companies monies and influences, not to mention the amount of jobs the tobacco industry creates.

it has also been documented that the cig companies add nicotine (the most addictive drug on the market)so that you'll hook your self into buying their stuff. I hadn't heard of soaking the papers it's rolled in that I find interesting. oh and the cmufreak is right weed is just as bad if not worse for you then cigs. More people die of drinking and driving every year the smoking cigs and driving.

Weed is fucking clean compared to cigaretts. What the hell are you on? Tobacco has so much shit in it compared to marijuana. Its just the truth faggots making up some more propaganda bullshit.

inhaling any kind of smoke is bad for you whether it has chemicals added to it or not. Plus all you people out their who think pot is so clean. DO YOU KNOW WHO IS GROWING IT??? Drug Dealers and we all know that they are an honest and caring bunch who are looking out for our well being. This is for those of you that don't have a phototron in your closet for growing it your self.

didnt i say that weed has more tar and shit in it than cigs? yes. BUT overall i cant see how cigs which have tons and tons and tons of chemicals in them can be better for you in the long run compared to weed which yes probabaly has pesticides and shit but cant be anywhere near as bad. and if you have a trusted source then its cool. dont buy weed thats passed through like five peoples hands. buy it directly from a grower. and even better if you know the grower personally. later.

fuck that shit,weed being worse than cigarettes is bullshit, do you actually think theyd use it for medicinal purposes if it was 10 times worse than cigarettes? if a person with cancer had the choice to smoke weed or cigarettes,what do you think theyd choose? obviously weed cuz its not as bad for you,it eases the pain,my uncle has lupus disease and has to take a bunch of pills but instead of taking like 5 pills at a meal he smokes a joint and is set for a couple hours,

No publicity is bad publicity.

1. It gets kids learning about ciggies, it probably has pictures of his ciggarettes on all the pamphlets etc..
2. It puts names on mailing lists.

back to the origional topic... around 70% of cigarette revenues in Canada go to the government as 'taxes' (I'm not too sure what the actual % is but it's damn high). The Canadian (I'm not sure if it's federal or provincial or both) government sets the prices cigarettes. Still they've had anti smoking campagns for years. They probably spend 0.3% of their cigarette revenues on telling people that smoking is bad. Really, it's all just a load of bull. You're going go fucking die anyway. And once you're gone, and everyone you know is gone, is anyone really gonna care? Fuck the world and everyone in it, do what you wanna do.

wow i cnat beleave how uneducated most of you are. Its a fact that '1 joint' = about 4-8 cigs (depending on quality and type). the reason you dont here about people dying from pot is because by the time you develope cancer you are older anyways and have stopped smoking pot, but pot does have cancer causing chemicals in them too. secondly you smoke far less pot then cigs so its less smoke entering your lungs. but its the tar in the pot that gets you high but also has more chemicals in it because there is no filter. Just about all cigs have filters on them.
3rd if you say say smoking a bong acts as a filter. then yes you are right but it also reduces the THC entering your lungs so in return you are smoking more which averages out to be the same as smoking a joint
