It popped up on the top of the page while I was surfing the threads. I thought maybe it was a joke, so I clicked on it. It was a full blown add for some quit smoking deal.

We try to get rid of those but sometimes they slip through the ad company - it isnt one that we approved directly I can assure you..

Re: What's With the Quit Smoking Banner?

Heck... I was reading the latest edition of SMOKE magazine today, & @ the bottom of a soothing Dunhill add in huge block letters it says "SMOKING KILLS". That's it... Nothing else... I thought to myself... WTF is this???? C'mon! Can't we be just a tad more milder in the choice of warning labels? I guess the more suttle "In the state of California smoking has been linked to blah blah blah blah" is out the window now.

I personally think it should have read... SMOKING KILLS (especially if your on fire.)
