  • all governments have to have budget set aside from development communication purposes

  • who were the gentlemen who was on the commercial??

  • so instead of spending money on cigarettes. Spend it on food, shelter and medical care? You know how much money the government saves if cancer/heart attack rate goes ways down due to less people smoking? People like your only look at the short term benefit while totally ignoring the long term benefits this campaign brings to our society

  • it absolutely amazes me that, with MANY Americans hungry, homeless, without proper medical care, etc., the Government (CDC) has MILLIONS to spend today to tell us smoking is dangerous. It's an absolute joke...

  • I want my mom to stop now... :(

  • as sad and depressing as this ad campaign is... its probably the best way to get the message out there.  education is always the best tool.

  • I understand those devices are made to synthesize a human voice, and i have heard people speak with them before, but this is just creepy.
