But now we have people smoking again... idols... people kids look up to and want to emulate... Ciggs are still advertised with cool looking people, they are still virally marketed in areas that young people (not kids) hang out.
To quote George Carlin: "Kids don't smoke because a camel in sunglasses tells them to, they do it for the same reason adults do: because it relieves anxiety and stress... you'd probably be stressed out to if you had to deal with one of these boomer yuppie parents who enroll you in college before you're old enough to know which side of the playpen smells the worst."
