TheTruth is an advertising campaign that makes all those informercials which go out of their way to convince people that tobacco companies are evil and making products that kill them. You all may be most familiar with the Shards of Glass commercials.
They're pretty looney, because people know what will happen if they smoke, but they do it anyway.
If you made tons of commercials about cinnamon rolls making you fat, and there were warning labels on every box of cinnamon rolls that said: "Surgeon General's Warning: Consumption of Cinnamon Rolls may lead to crippling fatness," I would still eat a pack a day. Consequences be damned, they're delicious.
I'd pass by all the posters and billboards that have a picture of some blimp with cinnamon buns rolling out of his hand as he wallows in a gutter. The message: "1 out of 4 cinnamon rollers suffer from chronic unattractiveness and sugar lung."
I'd like to fill you in on some of the hard-hitting facts that theTruth uses to get people to quit:
17.5% of white U.S. high school students smoke cigarettes.
9.9% of African American high school students smoke cigarettes.
10.8% of Hispanic high school students smoke cigarettes
6% of Asian American high school students smoke cigarettes.
It looks like white people need the most help looking cool, thank you truth.com
I can make that joke, I have white friends.
Nicotine has been found in the breast milk of animals exposed to tobacco.
If I hung out with a smoker and tested my breast milk, only to find traces of nicotine in it, the nicotine would not be my chief concern.
