That ad makes me want to do some things, but smoking ain't one of them.  You smoke afterwards, silly. 
And meh to this whole thread. Hysterical fearmongering. Yeah, it's best not to get addicted. But an occasional cigarette never killed anyone.

'Edwige" is (or was) a fairly common European girls' name.

We all have the right to choose for ourselves. You can choose to smoke all the cigarettes in the world. Nobody will ever stop you. |

The divine Edwige Fenech definitely had that effect...  Unfortunate name. Her name could be Harry Skywalker and I wouldn't care.

And I have no desire to eat so much candy that I ruin my pancreas and become a diabetic. And I have no desire to gorge myself on fatty meat and ice cream until I die of a heart attack.
I just don't see any ads showing a fat dead person lying face first in a bowl of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
It's moralistic tripe and it's selective outrage.
Joe Camel's in chemo! How cute.
How about Tony the Tiger on kidney dialysis? We'll never see that.
You're being led around by the nose and you don't even know it.
It's a political campaign aimed at tobacco companies which supported Southern conservative politicians.

Coworker had his foot amputated, some rare thing caused by smoking. First it went numb, then he couldn't walk on it, finally went to the doctor. He still smokes, dumbass. This guy was old though, late 50s, not like the ad below.

There's enough outrage regarding obesity. They have made TV shows like My 600lb Life and movies like Super Size Me to highlight this and many more. And there are anti-smoking ads the world over, not just the USA. Again, at the end of the day it's your choice. Nobody is forcing you to do anything.

Oh, information on the negative effects of any product is great.
I'm talking about the scare tactics and hyperbole.
One cigarette does not equal death by cancer, any more than one Ben & Jerry's ice cream cone equals death by heart attack.
So why is ice cream never equated to death by heart attack?
