The New York City Department of Health has gone too far.

They have these new anti-smoking ads out, starring this guy with the tracheotomy. Pretty graphic stuff. Click on any of the ads at the link below if you want to be grossed out. I didn't click on any of them, because I'm disgusted by one or two of them and don't want to see them again. I think the shower one is the most graphic.

How far is this **** going to go? The media makes sure the American people are sheltered from having to see any bodies coming back from Iraq, but we are forced to see this disgusting crap any time of the day. Where are our priorities? Obviously, I think this crap has gone too far. Yeah, we want to stop people from smoking, but why do I have to be subjected to this disgusting tracheotomy guy? Smokers aren't the only ones who are watching TV!!!

How about thinking about the millions who DON'T smoke, you preachy self-righteous bastards?! I don't want to have this guy's disgusting neck-hole popping up on my TV at random intervals. What if I'm sitting there eating dinner? Stop paying so much attention to the smokers, and try giving a **** about the MAJORITY of the people who don't smoke, will ya? Quit shoving this crap down our non-tracheotomized throats, you shitheads!

I didn't think it was gross Confused

We've all seen people like that.

I'm not sure it'll make anyone quit, but it gives you something to think about.

I also don't see anything "gross" about a person with a tracheotomy.

In fact I think these ads are well made and they deliver the message. Especially for youngsters, many of whom still think smoking is mad cool.

Shrug. Just don't see anything outrageous in it.
