• Totally fair, but the only ‘copium’ I see in this thread is people pointing out how cool some of the animals look, which is funny because that’s the opposite of the intention. I assume most of the people making such comments are well aware how awful smoking is

          Everyone above 14 knows how dangerous smoking is. Doesn’t make it less cool. Tbh it probably makes it more cool to most people.

          This campaign is about as stupid as it gets.

          It basically points out the only legit positive thing about smoking which is the fact that it looks cool.

      • I’m mostly joking, but myself and many others legitimately think that chimp looks cool af. I don’t smoke anymore, and I recognize that it’s awful and uncool, but I still think that the cigarette makes the chimp look awesome. I can’t explain why though. Social conditioning maybe?

          Because smoking looks cool…

          Very few people thinks smoking is uncool. It’s obviously a health risk but I think that’s part of the reason it’s seen as cool. It’s dangerous.

          Just like riding a motorcycle, if there wasn’t any increased danger associated with it, it wouldn’t be cool.
