The whole reason they are used is because they are potentially next in line for the problem. Using them might just create enough sense in the children so they don’t follow in the idiot adult footsteps down into the addiction hole, whatever the substance.

Thanks for your comment. The conversation around children and marketing is always an interesting one, especially in the realm of smoking. I think you bring up an interesting point about illegal vs. immoral.

I don’t think it’s a good idea, even if it does make people more aware of their problem. Kids just shouldn’t be associated with this kind of problems. It may not be illegal but it’s definitely immoral
