Hm, strong visual but this is a very risky ad. people could freak out if seeing this.. and this could be a good chance for the tabacco industry to finally sue somebody themselves ;)

For the damage they are causing to health (smokers + passive smokers), we should sue the industry :)

How can a jacked idea get all the praise you guys are generously dishing out? The idea was born out of thievery...

He who dominates often has no real friends...

Blatant, but effective. I like the noise in the imagery, makes it seem like a long-range photograph or a video feed - good.

MTV did something like this where they compared the number of people killed by AIDS opposed to 9/11 or terrorism. It´s been done, conceptually and executionally.
