Subject: I am a smoker.
Hi. I am a long term smoker of 25 years.
As much as I enjoy your expensive and often obscene cigarette pack porn, I don’t see it on Winfields. Only on certain brands of cigarettes. Often Imported. Who pays for that?
Just curious.
On Winfields people are happy Janet Jackson types talking on advanced telephone systems to poor unshaven 35 year old ‘dudes’ who are most likely not gainfully employed (going by the picture here.) I can only guess that the pretty blond girl is the non-smoker, and the sad loser is the guy who smokes. Every smoker thinks of themselves as a ridiculous out of touch over-weight guy…so…great brand ID. I’m sure every smoker will identify with this couch-potato and suddenly realize…they are not the person on the Plantronics mic.
I firmly believe you don’t really want us smokers to quit smoking. This is only your ostensible agenda.
You could do it, you know. You could break out of the predestinated purpose you were placed here for and get some real results. There are known therapies and medical treatments for helping those addicted to both alcohol and tobacco. None of these methods are 100% successful as many want to quit because of peer pressure from their spouses, or because intellectually they realize they want to live longer, but emotionally want to keep smoking.
I believe there are genuine components in your organization who are working for this cause…but I believe they are mislead or misguided.
Or making a really good salary wasting their time.
Please prove me wrong.
Show me I’m paranoid and misinformed, and simply too cynical.
Who’s paying for this program?
Just curious.
(Not really…I do know.)
You’ve been given the opportunity to help someone, perhaps thousands.
How many people have you helped quit smoking?
Really?
You’re a reference engine like google.
Go here to quit smoking.
It’s a waste.
People are amused by cigarette package porn,
But nobody really cares about it.
Spend the money to help those who really want to quit, but don't have the skills to know how.
Oh...but then you'd be out of a job in a decade or so.
Sorry.
I don't really care about that.
I hope you don't have much to do in ten years.
Probably though,
you're kids are going to be making cigarette pornography.
