I saw a TV commercial yesterday that really bothered me. One of those nonprofits...that run ads targeting our teens about the dangers of smoking cigarettes. It featured a young man talking about someone he loved dying from smoking cigarettes. He went on the say that cigarette smoking was just as hard to quit as heroin. What? Yes, according to the CDC nicotine is just as addicitve as heroin...
There is a difference though...I smoke cigarettes. If I stopped smoking cigarettes I wouldn't lay in the bed for days, aching all over, puking, sweating, shaking and crying, watching blood come out of my ass. Wanting it so bad that I'd do anything for for a smoke...I would steal, cheat and lie for a cigarette.
Where are the TV commercials that talk about the dangers of becoming a heroin addict...Is it easier to talk about cigarette smoking than heroin addiction? Yes, I guess it is...but I'm going to talk about it because our children are becoming addicted to heroin before they even get a chance to smoke a cigarette.
