love it, did the same thing when I saw it a few months ago! https://www.change.org/p/thetruth-stop-any-thetruth-commercials-that-are-not-based-on-fact-and-reason-and-promote-the-discrimination-towards-a-large-majority-of-people-in-the-united-states-and-the-rest-of-the-world

I said something about this on twitter, and that's how I was led here. People don't understand that nearly every smoker hates that they smoke. It's a horrible addiction that isn't going to be fixed by pricks on T.V. shaming people. On top of that, they show a dude eating a table full of crap, should we shame those whom over-eat, too? Overall, this ad is totally ineffective and a stupid attempt of trying to make their concept go viral by mean kids. Pull this shit off the air and try again.

there are too many things wrong with this ad campaign. It needs to be stoped. People are getting raped as a result of Tinder matches. Let's support Rape but not Smoking??

I am glad to see im not the only one to find this ad offensive... I don't even smoke anymore, but i do feel the need to express my feelings. This ad portrays those who do smoke as lesser than those who don't.... Not right....

I am more than a cigarette. I'm also a fellow human being who has more to offer than a pack.

Smoking is part of society, this add makes smokers look like disgusting unwanted people. As a smoker I can tell you I am not disgusting nor unwanted. Just because you don't like it doesn't give you rights to discriminate against us

very disappointed that I am publicly being judged negatively for something that is not only legal but something that was so strongly pushed onto people years ago. the government makes tons of taxes off something that kills me, something that I've become addicted to because of the lack of knowledge of the attorney General And the General public. now it's a bigger deal then violence, drugs, and our corrupt political system. fine, whatever, but if they think it's ok to tell the public to hate me for smoking then I really fear for our future. they find out something that used to be looked at as healthy end up being horrible for you daily, but they don't make ads about looking down on those people.... or better yet!... coming out and apologizing for allowing people become addicted to something so bad. there way of helping is by making everyone look down on it so much they think that Will make us quit. f#/k the government

It is disappointing that truth has fallen to stigmatizing people and creating further discrimination and divide in our already fractured society. Very low brow and should be stopped. Smokers are still people and isolating them is not going to solve anything. Truth has missed the mark on this one and diminishes their intentions calling into question their current agenda.
