In case you did know, that was my angery sound. NO ONE smokes to be cool anymore. Many many people (myself included) started smoking because they just wanted the experience. They wanted to know what all the fuss was about. By sheilding these kids from seeing people who smoke, all your doing is making the act of smoking seem more elusive,and more tempting.
Im not saying they should get in kid's faces with cigarettes and say "Inhale your own death" but i wish they could find a way to protect kids from smoking, but at the same time not act like its some well gaurded treasure.
ps--- this was not geared towards you Lokileby, i just posted it uder your thread because you brought up the "cool" issue.
: I can understand it in your "geared to teen movies" where it makes the whole process look really cool.
: I don't agree with it as a whole, but I think in some cases it is warranted.
: But what the hell do I care? I'm 21.
