"Blow some my way" - For those who love to smoke

A few facts and some funny ads on smoking....I am not going to sermonize. So you can take a puff and relax.

Just would like to take you on interesting commercials on smoking. Close to 50% of world population smokes including women. Tobacco originally was used by men and was considered style in men and unsexy in women.

"Blow some my way" the first ad which pulled women upright and made them think "Why can't we?" and the gentlemen were seen asking women, "Would you care for a cigarette?".



It was after this ad, women found smoking sensational. That was a great campaign and wonderful service rendered to this world community by Chesterfield. Then Salem Cigarettes... Wow amazing creativity. Any one who watches these ads would definitely reach for cigarettes.



This continued to the level were a full blown satirical comedy, "Thank you for smoking" was screened recently.



What is so special about smoking? Why people with tight budgets are willing to spend money on cigarettes... several packets. Is smoking just a habit? Does smoking helps to clear your mind, to relax, or is it just for pure enjoyment? Why people who smoke always points out to other things like Caffeine, alcohol even chewing gums as addictions?

Most of the smokers want to quit and several times would have tried quitting but come back to it the moment they face a small trouble.

Some people believe in immediate quitting while others cut down the numbers. Some of them take a puff or two at a time and throw it away. But the question remains. Can any one truly quit smoking? What is there in a cigarette? I have heard that certain additives are added to this sophisticated slim roll which young men and women today feel proud to flaunt. These additives make you reach for your box again and again.

Anti campaign ads on smoking, pleads to those who smoke on the danger of lung cancer and putting your kin next to you to danger too.

But an anti smoker probably would never have touched Cigarette in his hands and being a non smoker he may not know the pains involved in quitting.

More than a debate on smoking is hazardous or not, interested on how people are convinced on trying out a potent poison, which can result in lung cancer. Commercials lure people to try smoking and everyday at least a new batch is getting ready to get slaughtered. More than commercials, young men are the honorary ambassadors who undertake the campaigning activity on spreading the message of huffing and puffing and blowing a heart in the air.

If you feel that Cigarette is good for health and does not cause, in fertility or lung cancer or any other ailments listed out there in the internet.. please let me know. Will definitely write another posting on how good smoking is....

For people who take things light and love to argue for the sake of arguing...


But why am I writing this? I want a friend of mine to quit smoking.

"Please stop smoking; you're killing yourself."

Sorry for sermonizing he he.... I am a non smoker : )
