The
obvious difference between smokers and eaters of cheese sandwiches is that cheese sandwhiches don't cause unnatural death. Salads don't cause unnatural death. Hitting golf balls doesn't cause death. Smoking
does, and with a FAR FAR FAR greater frequency than random accidents like choking on a sandwich.
The only reason I don't personally mind that
propaganda poster is that there are indeed a LOT of
stupid teens who smoke just to be cool. Because of all the tobacco companies propaganda, as well as images in movies and on TV. Fight propaganda with propaganda I suppose? Personally I prefer education.
I tend to laugh at
all moral propaganda posters in school. I can make my own decision. I saw for myself how smokers hack and cough and smell bad. I was educated in health classes about how harmful smoking is and educated by common sense to know that cigarettes won't give any positives and will give lots of negatives.
Should we have propaganda in education? I don't think so. The two are opposites.
