PSA: A Message from Mr. Good Smoking! · 17 June 05

Hi kids!

Remember that nasty lawsuit a few years ago that prevented Big Tobacco from using cartoonish characters or implying that cigarrettes weren’t bad for you?

Mr. Good Smoking

Whew, thank goodness that doesn’t apply here in Japan! Elsewise, I wouldn’t be able to tip my mighty Hat of Health™ in your direction!

Til next time, remember that with Philip Morris, you’re not just smoking, you’re Good Smoking©!

Your rather dandy pal,
Mr. Good Smoking

( spotted outside the Hiroshima train station. The Japanese tells ya it’s an ad by Philip Morris )

  1. Something anti-big tobacco people like The Truth would probably love. Spins a nice global angle on the awareness they try to promote.

  2. There’s a good point. I definitely don’t see enough 12 and 13 year old kids roaming the streets of London smoking these days. Wait a minute, there are five sitting outside my window right now. Clearly the good advice of Mr. Good Smoking has gotten through to them. Phew, that’s lucky!

  3. Hey, I have passed you some kind of musical baton: http://thejinx.org/

    Oh, and resubscribe to my RSS feed. It was wrong earlier.

  4. Hey Saleem,
    How are you doing? You seem to be having a fabulous time. Just thought I’d send a note. Sandra and Alison send regards. Yes, we are still here late. Finishing up the October issue now.

    Anyway, take care of yourself.

    later,
    Leora

    Sandra says, “Hey Ya!”
