What do you think about the Truth anti-tobacco people?

Is it just me, or do these people come off as pompous asses? First off, they're complaining about what OTHER people are doing to their own bodies, but they also seem to be doing it in the most dickish ways possible. Like that one where they have a fake interview with people and ask them if they could do horrible things for the company. I mean, first off, why would you give someone false hope that they might be getting a job (during a recession, no less) just to try to prove a point? And second, they're tying to prove a point that they have no way of knowing is even true.

But anyway, what do you think?

I hear teen tobacco usage has actually grown because of these ads.

While they may be pompous, they make valid points as uncouth as they are.

I've had the desire to start smoking more than a couple times just because they tell me not to.

Sorry I broke your poll. I hit Vote like 60 times and it didn't refresh, so I finally clicked on results and I guess it counted all 60 votes. :(

I think it's like most things: another extreme view to counteract the view they don't agree with.

i love some of the commercials
but some are just disturbing
personally i never seen them on the street so how can i judge them?
they're just trying to get the word out to people that smoking is bad
its not like they're going up to people somking, taking the cig and stomping on it right in front of them
that would make them a-holes
but those ads dont stop me from smoking.....:P

Hadn't come across them before. Is this the campaign you're talking about? Because I thought it was pretty funny, and not condescending at all.

I havent seen these ads, but I'm against tobacco, because it's given quite a few people I know lung or throat cancers, and It makes me sick to watch parents smoke around their kids.

EDIT: just watched the 'tough love' one, and it was great. If the rest of the ads are like that one, I totally support these guys.

I endorse the ads and appreciate what they do. If it helps keep my children from smoking, even better.
