Yeah my friend in middle school has a vape and he cant quit. Kinda sucks that it starts so early. And you feel like you can't really reach out for help cuz its illegal to vape underaged.
if you vape, you could be inhaling toxic metals. to show how scary that is, we made a metal monster! *wilhelm scream* But nothing is as scary as the facts. Vaping can deliver toxic metals like nickel and lead into your lungs
There will always be idiots that ignore consequence. tell em straight up the risks. if they still want to smoke, well, let natural selection run its course.
I could easily be convinced to believe that these anti-smoking organizations are lead by plants from tobacco companies to increase their market. Or everyone in the production of the video is actually over 40.
I got scared from smoking from seeing those keeping it real ad I remember the one where a guy is smoking and a delivery guy shows up and hands him his gums and teeth with his teeth looking like he just rubbed shit on his teeth.They put facts in it making it scary for 5 yr old me
You shouldn’t smoke because it kills you and you don’t even get high from it, don’t vape because it’s lame, smoke pot and do psychedelics because no one has ever ODd on psychedelics (really look it up) and it’s proven pot is isn’t as bad as smoking cigarettes, just make sure you get it from someone who you trust, or grow it yourself and if you don’t want to do it just don’t, peer pressure is lame. 👍
Im just gonna put this out there i have a 17 year old and a 14 year old and I love them to absolute pieces but..... yes kids that age are incredibly fucking stupid it hurts my inner being seeing how fucking stupid teens have become since I was that age... it actually makes me hurt inside 😔 😞
I'm trying to get my boyfriend to quit smoking at the moment. He said the best he can do at the moment is go from normal cigarettes to e-cigarettes because of the stress and our long distance relationship. So I said it's better than nothing but also asked him to smoke as little as possible. Hope it'll work
I'm 15 years old and I was heavily addicted to nicotine roughly 10 months ago and I can guarantee the reason I quit had nothing to do with anti-smoking ads.
I'm 32, I just started vaping. The flavors aren't targeted to kids, they're for adults. What grown up doesn't want to hit Watermelon Galactic Sunrise? Tastes great. Also don't vape, it raises your blood pressure and makes you cough a lot. I do it because my job is stressful and I need some way to ease up on under a minute, but really it spent work at all.
I once played a game made by The Real Cost without knowing it was a anti-smoking ad, I just thought it was some indie horror game. It wasn't like a bad game, but it wasn't good. I think they're the only company I've seen with actual good content for anti-smoking, including their ads.
dude, the only anti smoke/vape ads that i think actually worked were those HORRIFYING ones, like where they’d show the girl literally PEELING her face off, or the guy who gets a box with a rotting mouth i think in it, and he touches his mouth and realizes it’s his??? those were fucking SCARY, but i don’t smoke, so i’d say they worked. just terrify some kids with decaying body parts, and say “this WILL happen if you smoke” and i can almost guarantee it will work. stop with this “funny man dances in dragon costume” shit and SCARE THE LITTLE FUCKS
My step dad used to smoke two packs a day but when he separated from his ex-wife and came to my mom he stop smoking in 3 days they've known each other since they're little they're separated because his father was in the army Its been 8 months since hes stoped
I remember this one anti-vape ad that started off with a bunch of people screaming and trying to escape. That shit scared the hell out of me. Another one I remember was just a guy being delivered a nasty ass mouth in a box and then it appeared in his mouth. That one still haunts me and I don't even smoke. It's a lot more creepy than it sounds.
the thing they need to advertise for cigarettes is the amount of money they will cost u in the long run! even in a week i’m spending almost $70 on cigs.
I'm 18 and I recently quit dipping,vaping etc I'm doing this of my own free will and the truth and other anti vape ads just annoy me instead of persuading me
I always get anti smoking ads on US-first almost every video mostly the real cost ones or the little lungs,but it’s been happening for years, when I first saw the teeth/box one I was actually terrified
I don't look through tiktok, but on the Console stores there's a video game called "One escapes" and it uses the topic of a horror game to capture gamers into a anti smoking ad
I quit right when I turned 20. I’m 21 now and I’m already regretting ever having done it. My lungs are so much weaker than when I started vaping at 17. It’s a horrible feeling
Why do all of the people that have sense aren’t famous and have a trillion subscribers? Eddy as an example doesn’t have enough subscribers wtf people go subscribe.
Update (to nothing): Ever since this dropped, I got a lot more SnapChat ads with the girl reading the tweets than the childish BS (in fact, havent seen one of those in forever, but im also not on social media a bunch so idk)
During college, my school did this "make the campus smoke free", which I supported cause I am not a smoker and those who did smoke on campus never followed the rules to not liter or keep it to a designated area. This change was through the Truth Initiative. Another girl and I were brought on as interns to help change campus policy and perception of said policies. We even went to Washington, DC to the Truth Headquarters, for preparing and learning what they wanted us to do. And man, it really does just seem like a bunch of adults grasping at what they think the cool kids will be attracted to. I think Truth has done great things and can continue to do great things, however, they're just going about it all wrong. I worked with them, and still think this stuff is lame as hell.
Damn there was Truth ads in skate and bike magazines back when I was 11, in like 2000 ... I figured they would have rebranded at this point. The ads are always gonna suck, cuz the tobacco companies pay for them-So of course they’ll do the bare minimum 😂
Another issue is that companies and people take being “kid friendly” and censorship for children as more important. I don’t know why people think that censorship is more important than being honest with children. Companies have a hard time reaching the younger demographic that are on the internet, a lot companies and their products or campaigns are targeted at children and in turn try to also make it “kid friendly” as well as “relatable” and they miss the mark everytime. One of the biggest disconnect adults have with children and teens is treating them like they aren’t humans dealing with problems and growing up with a complicated mind and complicated views on the world they live in. Companies just further push this disconnect by making shit kid friendly/relatable. Treat teens and kids like actual humans beings and there would be no problem.
I was at warped tour in 2017, and someone from truth walked up to me and asked if i wanted some free stuff. At the time i had no clue what truth was so i was like fuck yeah i want some free stuff. So they had me sign up for their email or whatever and they gave me some shitty stickers or something but i have been getting cringe up in my email for the past 4 years its sick
Vapes should never have targeted anyone under 18 just because its vapor and not smoke. Kids and teens don’t need to smoke at all and shouldnt think its now okay to do before they can grasp what theyre actually doing to themselves.
Eddy, I respect you so much for this. You raise awareness for smoking, and made the whole video entertaining, including the ad read even! This is just a damn good video, and you just genuinely seem like a good person. To be a commentary channel that isn’t just constantly bullying people and trying to find the positive is just so amazing to me. Keep up the good work, my friend.
I don’t like the idea that adults can’t enjoy flavors that are traditionally considered for kids. Like, I’m 21. I’ve grown up with artificial flavors like Watermelon, Bubblegum, and blue raspberry. Why should I loose access to vape juices with these flavors, just because kids occasionally get ahold of them?
I actually didn't think vaping could possibly be so addictive until I saw so many kids in my high school doing it, even my brother, and they'd all say the same thing, "I can put it down whenever I want, it's just for fun, I'm totally in control!" Then there parents will find out and take all there vapes and cash and stuff, and I've seen first-hand, teens *begging* my brother to use his, or borrow some cash to buy more. It's absolutely insane how addicted they are after a single month.
what about "the real cost" idk if its only on tv but I remember the commercials and the people would like peel off their skin for cigarettes and stuff hopefully you see this comment because those ads use to scare my ass when I was little
yeah i instinctively grab my vape whenever i see any of those ads. like i dont even realize it anymore. same with most of the other campaigns from other companies too. at least i quit smoking since i started vaping. also not even for my health or anything but vaping and smoking in general is an expensive habit and its really not worth it. take that money and put it towards something cool and youll thank yourself later. i actually did this when i switched to vaping because it was that much cheaper than smoking for me and eventually i had enough to get a really nice watch, and that was worth it for sure
I'm one of those guys that the truth ads kinda annoyed, and I've been struggling with nicotine since early high school, and I'm in my early 20s now. I'm lucky enough to not get hit with any health problems (yet). I quit long term about a week ago, and I've been slowing down and taking breaks for the last few months. It kinda sucks to feel as drained and disoriented as I am, but I already feel so much physically stronger, and I feel so much more in control. I love feeling this way, but I'm scared of just slipping back in.
They need to scar children for life if they want their message to work. All the dancing makes it look like a light-hearted issue. The ads of old people with holes in their neck because they can't breathe or the ones with people whose teeth were rotting and falling out scarred me so badly that being around someone smoking scares me
Vape companies don't target kids with flavors. Juul the scape goat for truth, has the least appealing flavors. It's literally tobacco flavors. Truth has been in the vape fear campaign for a while. They don't give facts at face value, they exaggerate and try to scare people who other wise could quit smoking using a vape.
