Excellent anti smoking ad

Sadly it does look cool 😮‍💨
- Absolutely! Look at this chimpanzee. Dude has heavy thoughts, and he's ready to write them all down. He probably does slam poetry on the weekends. His girlfriend's parents hate him because he is broadening her mind in ways they find uncomfortable.
  
  Who needs an infinite number of monkeys to write Shakespeare when this dude's spittin Bukowski all on his own.
  
  LOL. This has been my avatar in several games/forums for years now. I went and found the image when this was reposted to reddit a few years back. The monkey just looks cool!
  
  This guy reminds me of the framed poster in my bedroom that I bought on eBay for $10 when I was like 15.
  
  That's the face of a philosopher.
  
  Motherfucker looks like bukowski
  
  Dude wears a leather jacket and hangs out by the jukebox at the local burger joint with his 78 transam
- This is the closest I've ever come to smoking.
  
  When I was young and feeling invulnerable, the heavyweight wrestler for our university (who i worked with) told me I looked tough and cool with a cig hanging from my mouth.
  He didn't really have the capacity for dry sarcasm. I remember thinking that was not a good thing to tell me. Especially bc I knew that I wasn't "cool". I was a dork.
- That chimp looks like he belongs in The Godfather.
  
  Mario Puzo says that chimp is The Don.

Yeah uh, that wasn't a good anti smoking ad.
- That duck looks so metal, fuck, I feel like a smoke right about now.

The frog and the chimp go so hard
- They got that 15 degree removed
  The rest are perpendicular or 45 degrees, peasant angles if you ask me.
  
  What!? 45 degrees is three times the angle 15 degrees will ever be!
- Exactly.

On the ape it looks cool, though.
- But that goose just looks silly.
  
  Geese will fuck you up like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, though.
  "[Silly], how?"

Probably the coolest looking group of non ninja/mutant/teenage animals I've ever seen.
- Hopefully they are at least teenagers. Childhood is too early for cigarettes these days

Just look at these losers.
- Fuck I want a cigarette now.
- Well most of them are also dead now, which may or may not be related.
- God damn. Being cool is bad for your lungs.

Guys will see this and just think "hell yeah"

Well, the chimp, the duck and the frog all looked pretty cool.
- The chicken looks pretty cool too, like he'll steal your wallet and your girl in between puffs before you even finish coughing.
  
  Rabbit and deer look nervous. I think they were pressured by the other animals to smoke with them.
- Frog has swag

Monkeys smoking cigarettes became cool about 4 weeks after this poster went up
- That's an ape. Not monkey.
  
  I wasn't talking about that ape. I said monkeys.
  
  Apes are monkeys, fuck paraphyletic groups.

That frog looks badass
- The frog and the chimp are iconic
- Frogs don't smoke, that's a toad.😁

It's not great. I've way the photos are lit and the angles does make it look cool.
That chicken looks like it's in a gangster movie.

Shiiit now I've got to take up smoking again. Just when I've been clean for 25 years.
- I know. I haven't smoked in 18 yrs but those animals have me thinking again.

I dunno man, if that Duck called me a fucking loser I wouldn't argue
- I'm hearing a Gilbert Gottfried voice
  
  I'm having a hard time imagining that voice saying "I dunno man", the rest of the sentence yeah I can hear it

Maybe I'm just too immersed in the culture of my youth, but the only ones that don't look 'good' are the horse and the deer. The horse could be fixed by styling the mane, and the deer might be better with a more vertical angle.
Fuck smoking and smokers, but yeah it looks 'cool' to me.
- Chicken duck frog pig and monkey look cool, the other ones look like they are smoking their first cig at a HS party to look cool but don't
  
  I dunno, dog looks like middle aged guy on smoke break just trying to make it through. Maybe not cool, but also not uncool.
- gotta agree
  nicotine is more addictive than cocaine, I'd never touch the stuff
  but gun to my head? I'd take a cig over a vape any day. looks soo much better

Which smoking animal do you feel like today?
- Frog
  
  The frog looks cool af
- Smoking chicken here
- I am absolutely the bunny. Because I'm moisturized and just had my hair done, but I'm also completely done.
- I'm definitely the dog

Is it really that excellent? Big "how do you do fellow kids" energy with this one. They all look like they could be the star of a cult classic gritty animated film noir feature about anthropomorphic animals set in wartime 1940s brooklyn. Call it "The primal inside me" or something, get that triple entendre going for it.
- A gritty reboot of Wind in the Willows. Mr. Toad is right there.
  
  "Beyond the Wild Wood comes the Wild World," said the Rat. "And that's something that doesn't matter, not a rat's ass, if you pardon the pun. I've never been there, and I'm never going, nor you either, if you've got any sense in your thick fuckin skull.

In fairness that chimp looks pretty bad-ass.

I stopped smoking almost 7 years ago. This ad makes me regret it.

Weirdest DND alignment chart.

The duck looks like it's about to tell me this amazing financial opportunity that came across his desk this morning.
- I was thinking "80s Police Lieutenant who is tired of my screwball antics".
  
  "Damn it Jeffery, because of you I have the mayor breathing down my neck, I've got the press ringing me every minute phone rings* NO I DON'T HAVE A DAMN STATEMENT!... Oh sorry chief, ok, yes sir, no worries... slams phone down*
  Now I have the chief of police is coming down to question me about this! I need your gun, your badge and those slices of bread in your pocket, on my desk NOW!"

That duck fucks
- What about the monkey. I'd fuck that monkey.
- Now say it 10 times very fast.
  
  :'( can't

I am not sure if it is a good campaign. I don’t smoke but this makes smoking look cooler than most of the old smoking ads I have seen.

Someone pick the cool ones and make them into an album cover for some 80's rock band.
- Dog, chimp, duck right? Sorta feels like a weird ai psychological test.

The chimp is Hemingway ~~drinking~~ dreaming up his next masterpiece

That frog (toad?) makes me want to smoke right now.

I am envious of that Chimp
- Jealous of dog

I dunno, that bunny looks pretty boss.

Task failed successfully!

The chimp, frog, and maybe the rabbit ironically looks cool ngl

I just don't understand how people accept smelling like absolute shit all day. idk if they think they stop smelling the moment they litter the street with their cigarette butts but that shit stays on you for the rest of the day and when you walk around you smell how an ashtray must taste. disgusting.
- My grandmother was always a smoker. The smell reminded me of her and her home more than anything gross.
  Also the smoke does make the ability to taste and smell significantly worse.
  That being said I finally kicked the habit 4 years ago.
- I hate the smell of smoke, I can't even work when my co workers come back from a smoke
  But this? Man, shitttt it's cool
- It pretty much stays on them 24/7. They get desensitized do it but yeah, they just smell like shit 24/7 and you can smell it pretty far away
  
  I have a disabled neighbor that I help out around the house every now and then, she's been a smoker for decades. Long enough that she had to get tracheotomy so she breathes through a hole in her neck. Hasn't stopped her from smoking like a pack a day. Because of her disability and advancing age, a very kind neighbor built her a house and gave it to her for free. Her smoking has ruined that cute little two bedroom, to the point that everything in there is stained nicotine yellow, and reeks. That house will just have to be torn down when she leaves, because they'd have to gut the entire thing just to get rid of the smell. It's disgusting, and the fact that she got that house for nothing makes me all the more pissed about it.

one of my teachers in HS had a variation of this on his classroom wall, the chimp always looked so chill

That duck looks like he's going places

Those dogs playing poker in that well known painting looked pretty cool.

I remember seeing a faded, sun bleached poster of this on the wall of our guidance counsellor's office and thinking, those animals look so adorable. Didn't make me want to smoke but also didn't make me not want to.

Yeah that's why I smoke, to look cool.
100%
They really got me.

Smoking rabbit is my spirit animal.

The frog/toad does look pretty cool.
(and no I'm not biased)

The whole middle row looks cool as fuck

Looks pretty cool to me.

I just switched to vaping… The temptation is real

No dromedary? Missed opportunity.

That frog has had enough of everyone's shit.

The pig looks tight ngl

This was made by a Furry.

It's even cooler when it's forced on you violently and without consent.
- Why are you bringing this up?
  
  Because this would actually be even more excellent anti-smoking ad.

Can I bum a cigarette off of one of you guys?

Same energy

Man there is so much smoke-copium in this thread, it annoys me to no end.
People shouldn't be allowed to smoke in public and they should be forced to pay for the cost of their own healthcare if they develop any disease that has even a minimal chance of being related to smoking.
Edt: for sure is right to have mercy on them when they realize it was a mistake, but they still should be penalized to some degree, they did that to them selves while in their right mind.
- Healthcare shouldn't be conditional, it should be free at the point of use, no exceptions. You start drawing lines, you're only gonna cause harm
- If you think that chimp doesn't look cool as hell you're lying
  
  Yeah the only problem is it's a before pic with no after pic.
  
  Why would it be?
- Haha addiction is easy lmao fuck em as much as possible
- so... their healthcare should follow the American system?
  
  But without insurance.
- In many countries that have socialised healthcare smokers on average contribute 2 to 3 times what their healthcare costs the government in taxes on cigarettes alone over their lifetime. So I mean... you're welcome.
- forced to pay for the cost of their own healthcare if they develop any disease that has even a minimal chance of being related to smoking.
  Fun fact: smokers on average die much younger than non-smokers, and so end up being cheaper over a lifetime vs. the amount they pay into the system than non-smokers.
  So the next time you see a smoker who's on the same health plan as you, you can thank them, knowing their self-inflicted early demise will likely end up lowering costs on your plan.
  Even more fun fact - same with the obese: a heart attack or stroke at 45 is way cheaper than paying for all the end-of-life healthcare healthier people are more likely to get in their 60s-70s when half of them aren't even working anymore, lazy PoSs.
  Really makes me reconsider how I think about those selfish in-shape non-smoker bastards who won't just smoke or overeat so they die young and make my healthcare cheaper

It is not natural for animals to smoke. And it reminds you that it not natural for humans either
- It's not natural to use condoms or vaccines either, but that'd be a stupid reasoning for not using them.
  
  Fuck. I guess out of the three I'll keep smoking but stop using condoms and vaccines to compensate.
  
  Its totally natural to drive a car, tho /s
