Ironic

3 8 11

I just watched one of the no smoking commercials. Pretty graphic. I have recognized that as a smoker I paid very little attention to them. I may have even made smart remarks like "those commercials are designed for people who don't smoke." "who believes that"?

About a year ago I was in the beauty salon and a conversation about the commericals arose. The jest of the conversation was how could a person still smoke after seeing those commercials. I was quiet.

Now being a non smoker I am literally shocked when I see or hear one of the commercials. My heart starts to beat faster, they seem to be more graphic and I am paying attention. The commercials have really taken on a new life. Whew! Maybe those commercials are designed mostly for people who don't smoke or exsmokers. As a nonsmoker the impact is greater.
