Doesnt the US government give subsidies to tobacco farmers?
Doesnt everyone even kids know smoking is bad for you

Its a fail campaign. They say more kids than ever are starting to smoke. People in government are stupid
I really dont like scare tactics and alarmism no matter what the reason.

No it doesnt work. Everyone now knows smoking is bad for you. Its in bad taste
Its as offensive as anti abortion people showing pictures of cut up fetuses to try to stop women from having abortions

Its one of the last ways to rebel against your parents and society now. Even tattoos are accepted by most people. Smoking isnt. Be a rebel. Smoke

People know that cigarettes are bad because the information was made available. Nothing you're saying is supported by anything. You're talking out of yours ass. Smoking rates are at historic lows
The anti-smoking information campaign has been a huge success. It's too bad we don't use a similar tactic with other drugs.

I remember my friends son wanted to rebel when he was 12, he came in and declared he was going to buy a Marilyn Manson CD and his dad told him not to do that. He got a grin on his face but it disappeared when he said "either your uncle Bonzo or I will loan it to you, between us we have all of them".

And then they fill you full of Ritalin and drag you all over town in search of meaningless structure: little league, cub scouts, swimming, soccer, karate, piano, bagpipes, water colors, witch craft, glass blowing, and dildo practice. They even have play dates for Christ's sakes. Playing is now done by appointment! Whatever happened to: you show me your weewee and I'll show you mine? No wonder kids smoke... it helps!

As long as you are talking about George Carlin and not Grilled Cheese I can agree with you. Maybe not the smartest, but he was one sharp mother.
Maybe we need to start a Carlinist party.
Here is another of my favorites from him:

I got this real moron thing I do, its called thinking and I am not a very good American, because I like to form my own opinions! I don't just roll over when I am told to. Sad to say most Americans just roll over on command. Not me. I have certain rules I live buy. My first rule: I don't believe anything the government tells me. Nothing. Zero. Nope.

Loved it when they came to classrooms and saying this is how much tar in your lungs after smoking a pack a day for 5 years. I always thought to myself, "damn, I need a smoke just about now"

Who is this "they" of whom you speak?
The fact is that smoking rates have been declining for decades and these declines coincide with aggressive anti-smoking propaganda by the gubmint and Ad Council and private industry.
I agree that I really don't need to see someone's innards to convince me not to smoke, but there is no denying the general effectiveness of anti-smoking propaganda.

Warnings about the health effects of tabacco make MORE young people want to smoke.
The same way that if you tell them (truthfully) that loud music will cause them to go deaf later in life, they will actually turn UP the volume.
