Dip and chewing tobacco in some ways are worse than cigarettes...
I don't smoke, never have.
And tak, your point is well made about the truth commercials and the responsible adult thing... I don't believe those commercials are directed at responsible adults. They are directed at younger audiences and the irresponsible ones (believe it or not, there are some really stupid people out there that perhaps these commercials do shed some light). The angle they use often is not necessary to be informative, but to gross some people out, like saying there is urea and battery acid in cigarettes. I know the commercials can be dumb and annoying at times, but I support the idea.
