what do you think about the public service advertisement for quiting smoking ?   while I think it's great that they're trying to get people to quit smoking , but I don't really care for the advertisement .   why not ?   the fish hook that they use is quite disturbing !   it's a pun . They use the fish hook to make you think about how you can get hooked on smoking .   I know , but I think it's not really appropriate for young children .   I think they're trying to scare the young people so that they don't ever start smoking .   all advertisers like to catch young people because they know the meaning of loyalty .   perhaps you're right , , though . Maybe the advertisement would be more effective with adults anyhow .   I have nothing against them putting the advertisements in magazines and newspapers that are read by adults , but I don't think they should have their ad on billboards where children can see them .   that's a good point . I think I was so delighted to see that a billboard was being used to promote health that I didn't think about how children might understand the ad .   you have to give them credit , though . It's about time people started becoming more aware of the dangers of smoking .
