Imagine a commercial...with a drunk standing in public and shit rolling down their legs? Or a photo of the insides of one's intestines and liver? Or the family found in pieces on the side of a road after a drunk crashes into them?
Those commercials need to be aired when a drunk is sober. There would be more AA attendance I'm sure.
It'd never work. People still smoke even with the graphic commercials aimed to scare them off cigarettes. The mentality is that, "It'll never happen to me". I know drunks who believe they're too experienced in both drinking & driving to ever cause an accident. These people KNOW what drinking does, but just like smokers, they either delude themselves or just dont give a crap.
I'm a smoker. I've seen people with holes on their necks after losing part of their gullet due to smoking but I still smoke. It's the addict mentality. We tend not to associate ourselves with the dangers of our habits until it's too late.

Smoking a cigarette isn't going to leave another human being's body parts scattered on a road, nor does it alter the mind. My point was...why is it more important to bash smokers from the drinkers who do MORE damage TO OTHERS. Ever see little kids body parts scattered on a road?
Anyone who drinks should be shown those pictures before they drink and drive. Very huge difference from the cigarette bans/commercials.

Maybe because there's no such thing as 2nd hand drinking. I don't know. But you're right, they are way too harsh on smokers than drinkers. Both kill innocent bystanders whichever way you look at it & deserve equal focus. But hey...

No I'm not, passive smoking can also kill just like drunk driving. Only difference is that one is slow death while the other can kill you on impact.

If I were you, I'd be more concerned with vehicle exhaust and emissions.
That deadly passive driving ya know.
Cap10, I'm really not concerned about exhaust fumes so I guess I'll just let others worry about that.

Yeah. I figured. Damn those cigarettes! Real hazards...meh? Who cares?
Go into an enclosed garage and start your car. Hang out for an hour or so. Result = death.
Do the same experiment with 10 people smoking cigarettes in a garage for an hour. Results = stinky clothes and watery eyes.

Look, we cant all crusade for the same cause. The world is full of problems as it is. Fumes are just not something that I'm interested in personally, just like I'm sure there are some world problems you dont give squat about because the passion isnt there. I dont care about exhaust fumes *shrugs*

He's not saying you should be concerned with exhaust fumes. he's saying that exhaust is 1000 times worse than cigarette smoke, yet people crucify smokers for our deadly second hand smoke...it's dumb.

Thank you, sir.
Are my communication skills that bad?
U argue like my aqua ex did haha I saw you didn't see what he was saying. No worries.
If they acknowledge the problem but don't try resolving/fixing it, then they weren't really serious about changing it lol Words sound good, especially coming from the addict who's trying to convince others of bullsh****t so they can avoid constant criticism. But actions always speak louder.
They probably wanna change it. Eventually. But the reason the drinking hasn't stopped is b/c they don't wanna stop bad ENOUGH
