Maybe I'm missing something, but the only tax dollars going to fund this campaign are coming from smokers. And even if it were coming from my pocket, I'd have no problem with this expenditure. ANything to keep kids from shortening their life.
After all, tobacco is the only legally made and sold/government funded product that, if used in the manner it's designed, will kill you.
This figures! Government just loves to waste the taxpayers money!
The guy in the photo with the cell phone looks like he could be pretty-boy Bo Koltnow's brother!
I am a life long non-smoker myself so I welcome education campaigns.
Just not sure this one really talks to the teens. When you try to scare a teen, you might drive him into it.
Actually I think it seems aimed at the parent to get after their teen.
The issue is an important one. I hate seeing kids chew and spit. Actually the campgains I think that have been the best have been the one's designed by the kids themselves.
Florida had a great campaign.
When does the government go after the REALLY important stuff? Drinking and driving kills lots of people a year also.
If the government wants to be really politically correct then try and ban alcohol along with smoking!
I think the government should take all that money and fund HD in Erie. That is the most important issue EVER! HD! Who cares about anything else?
To Above Anonymous...
The state government did fund HD to all the PAPTV stations. That is why WQLN DTV 50 can broadcast all the PBS programming in glorious HD when there.
Too bad WQLN could not afford any longer to carry the PBSHD network.
When I contribute to WQLN, I ask for my dollars to be used exclusively for HD.
But Anonymous...I know you were tongue-in-cheek. Just so there is not a wad of chew in that cheek.
I cant wait to see these psa's in HD YUM!
