Kid Ethnic: 103 Days At Sea: PSA: A Message from Mr. Good Smoking!

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?

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

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

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!

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

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

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!”
