That is just absolutly WRONG!!!! I would never direct ads like that to children or teens. Thats just stupid! Who Came up with the idea, "Hey! Let's direct ads to teens to buy our cigarettes and chewing tobacco!" Obviously soe needy money makers...

@UBLAMM In my opinion teens do it obviously to feel like their part of the "in crowd." On top of that the pressures a teen encounters in thier day to day life through school, relationships, parents, jobs, and the usual drivers license teens may also refer to this as a way of releiving stress. Definitly not the best alternative thats for sure. On top of that, teens will do it to "rebel" (though that term isnt used much today) it is a way of spiting thier parents and or guardians and breaking free into a independant lifestyle, they feel in control. :P Bored and browsing the web, thought i'd take a crack at one of these for a change.

Smoking is bad by itself, why do teens need to be buying them?
