Lung cancer is one of the most dangerous froms of cancer, 80 per cent of cases are caused by smoking. And people are brought up with the idea that smoking is normal. That makes me sad and sick.

It is sad to see a young child left alone, and is very heartbreaking. I think the ad is just trying to get their point across, the reality of what really does happens.

From bad taste to obnoxious to repulsive to downright sickening? Do those of us who watch TV and do not want to be bombarded with disgusting images have any rights? Or is it only sanctimonious anti-smoking zealots who have rights? Liz, your question makes me wonder: How far would you want to go with “hard-hitting” and intrusive TV ads?

The government should not be allowed to jack up taxes on high demand items just to get people to quit. Do you know how much s*** you inhale when a city bus goes past you? do you know how much s*** you inhale when you start your car in your garage? Just back off...it's a choice so if people chose to smoke, let them smoke. As far as this commercial goes, it pisses me off b/c lets think about all the things out there that can let your kids be left alone...are we going to start taxing all of them? Are soldiers going to be taxed for being in the military b/c it is a danger to their health? Are airline pilots, policemen, firemen...they all have dangerous jobs that could lead their kids to being alone...are they going to be forced to quit or pay outrages taxes?
