I know that smokers die younger, but that’s not what this add suggests. First of all, it suggests that non-smokers are a minority, which is not true in any country, and plays up the the ‘waa waa I’m oppressed’ attitude that virtually everyone cops nowadays. If I believed all the crying I’ve heard, I would have to think that every oppressed person in oppressing at least 20 other people to make all this oppression possible.

Second of all, it implies that non-smokers will literally live forever. Seriously, there is no other way to interpret this ad. Guess what: Live as healthy as you want, and you could be hit by a car tomorrow.

Thirdly: Unwarranted self-importance. Everyone on fucking earth knows that smoking is unhealthy. I don’t need a non-smoking Jesus to guide me into the light. Smokers know the risks, know the risks they present to others, and do not need some bitchy prophet playing mother to them. No one is asking you to save them, and you’re not a priest. Anti-tobacco people are insignificant slime like the rest of us except that are so devoid of purpose or fulfilment that they are willing to delude themselves into thinking they’re making a difference when in fact they are just very very annoying and repetitive.
