If that was me in that situation he'd no longer be a friend of mine.

The awareness campagn has been around since I can remember that smoking is bad. But there are people much younger than me that smoke. The "2nd hand smoke is bad" has been around for 10-15 years. Just recently have we banned smoking in restaurants, etc.

Taking away the rights of smokers seems to be an effective way of getting the message across. A neighbour of my recently quit as she got fed up with no place to smoke.

I guess I don't think a media campagn costing 100's of thousands (or millions) of dollars is the answer. Make it a law; a slightly controversial one, and let the media agencies debate it on their own. Cost is nothing; it might even bring in a few bucks, and it might get some people's attention.

My feelings exactly. There comes a point and time when no amount of advertising is going to be effective. It's the size of the fine that will hit parents hard in the pocketbook.
