Once you're in high school, you aren't going to listen to any PSAs, but the excuse to get away with being a little crude for a cause is something I can see 7th and 8th graders responding to.Lauren T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08695658964899032897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-61275934202200848162011-05-10T06:42:59.691-07:002011-05-10T06:42:59.691-07:00Yea, made me feel bad...but in the present the smo...Yea, made me feel bad...but in the present the smoking criticisms are pretty strong so I guess I'm getting pretty used to it. Being told I smell bad or that I am destined for lung cancer is kind of a once a week thing. It actually does nothing to help me stop. I'm sure this ad is meant for those who haven't even started smoking but I know people who started smoking when they were 15 so I'm sure those of that age have come across the campaign. People who have never been a day-to-day smoker ever don't really know what its like to be a smoker...not like its a disease or disorder or something but I'm just saying people who haven't been smokers probably wouldn't know the stigma. It's a picked up habit to relieve stress and it doesn't really help to say to those people that they "suck". So yea I think it's right to question the word "suck" as John said.<br /><br />With that being said, I understand how non-smokers would think it was funny which is why I said it was a good ad and was funny for the youngins. It definitely works to separate the masses into smokers and non-smokers though...if that's what they were going for.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957447009460734914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-74226404785841604522011-05-09T17:44:13.492-07:002011-05-09T17:44:13.492-07:00How do current smokers think about this?

Like you said, definitely emphasizes knowing your audience. Pre-teens and even young teens probably liked wearing the shirts because they're rather borderline on dress codes as 'suck' is one of those words that we feel dangerous saying when we're younger.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357549086168311874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-66326267312096486922011-05-08T11:06:29.196-07:002011-05-08T11:06:29.196-07:00What Nina said.
