HOW IS IT LOGICAL that...?

I never got behind a wheel of a car after smoking even a whole pack of cigarettes and hurt anyone, yet alcoholic products can still be promoted in tv, radio, magazines and can still sponsor concerts, sporting events??

I drink rarely, but the irony of this is beyond my comprehension.

Explanations, please?

    i don't think either product should be advertized on tv.

    i'd rather not see condom ads or sanitary napkin ads either, if you really want to know the truth.

    at least we don't have to watch that mother/daughter ad, where the daughter has that 'not so fresh feeling', anymore..

    ugh!gross. i don't want to hear about it.

    ps. troll police was flagged ,reported and BLOCKED. i hate the troll hunters. they are really just a different sort of a troll, but they are too stupid to know it. i'm sorry it reported you. just remember "it' sux. but you do not. : )

    Peace,

    You may not have hurt anyone behind the wheel after smoking but i have smashed a car while trying to light a smoke. And jumped a curb while trying to find a lit one that i had dropped. So to me both drinking and smoking are dangerous behind the wheel of a car.

  • This has been on my mind lately too!! Believe me, i have done my share of partying, but have seen very ugly sides of alcohol. look how many people die or how many accidents there are. It makes people totally change, get so angry and sometimes it ends up being physical abuse. i believe it is the stepping stone to other drugs, you say things you don't mean, do things you regret. look how many AA or rehab centers there are. But...nowadays, money is so much more important than a human life!

    I have thought long and hard over this and I just can't figure it out. I guess because most of the people who can do something about it are alcoholics.

    Smoking is the 'in' thing to hate. That alone is pretty stupid, but Bud Lite commercials, with bikini clad women, are all right? Beats me. It is incredibly uneven, isn't it.

    Some things are unexplainable if you forget that money makes the world go round.
