When I think about smoking, the act of placing a carefully combined roll of tobacco and nicotine in your mouth and inhaling it into your lungs, I always tell myself that it has a special place near my heart - namely outside of it and nowhere near my lungs,
Excluding the steam from baths and the aromas from cooking, I absolutely hate smoke, smoke of any kind, whether it be from cars guzzling gasoline, smoke from burned trash, or smoke from a cigarette. I hate it because it makes me sick, it smells bad, it's cancerous, and many more reasons. It doesn't help that I'm asthmatic as well.
It's why I support APC's anti-smoking campaign completely. Most people don't realize or don't care about the inconvenience and dangers smoking does for themselves and others, If the campaign APC's running makes everyone just a bit more aware, that counts as a win in my book.
Also, I like the way they're going about it. Using animated slides is actually a better way to get the point across, rather than focusing on using real pictures. Real examples, while they provide a powerful image and the desire to turn away from it, can sometimes become more personal to a person, causing offence which could lead to them rejecting the message overall.
In any case, I just wish that people would stop smoking, or at the very least, do it in a place where it doesn't affect others. The air is polluted enough as it is.
