Is Enough, Enough Already with Anti-Smoking Campaigns?
Smoking is bad for you. If any generation knows that, our generation does. We’re the ant-smoking campaign generation. We’re the ones who saw the pictures of the lungs before and after someone spent their lives smoking. We’re the kids who were told not to cave to peer pressure.
