although, i have to say the one where the older lady lifts up her dress and shows off her gannies is pretty damn funny, but, still. the intent behind it is f'ing ######ed.
Smoking rates have plummeted and plummeted consistently over the last several years- a reduction from 26% to 19% of adults in Alberta in the space of just nine years. That's miraculous and underlies a fact that addicts such as yourself want to ignore: Anti-smoking efforts WORK and nothing works more than a combination of (1) making smoking EXPENSIVE and (2) making smoking INCONVENIENT. Why you addicts are denying this trend is something you might want to discuss with your psychiatrists.

I like the song in the RBC ad but count me in as hating the TO-VAN emphasis.
