The Quitter Inspires Smoke Rings

Nodding to that covert blog thing that didn’t go so well, the American Cancer Society visibly sponsors The Quitter, a blog written by a generic representative (they hope) for smokers at large.

We like a good message but the blog tries so hard it’s almost farce. With terminology like “Ya know,” “I’m really craving a cig” and “this ain’t their first rodeo,” we couldn’t help looking around and wondering, Are they serious? Or are they fucking joking? The video blog nailed it in: they are really trying to do this with a straight face. In consternation we left for a smoke break.

Yes, we know smoking is marketed as cool but really isn’t. We have to hand it to Big Tobacco for doing a better job at hawking cool than the ACS, who visibly struggle with this whole “get down with our peeps” thing. – Contributed by Angela Natividad
