Yeah, not sure if the whole tone is trying to use sarcasm, irony, or some such device. Whatever, I don't get it.
But misplaced headlines aside, I feel this approach to anti-smoking is more effective than the "Shock and Awe" type ads conceived by non-smokers with little idea of the nature of nicotine addiction.
At least this one gets me to reflect...a little. Good insights, but not enough brainstorming on concept.
I think they want to portray cigarettes as a powerful hypnotist. Not sure about how the class capsule conveys hypnotism. Crystal ball? Umm..no.
