Dear Sean,
Sorry for the delay! You message was lost in a pile of spam junk mail; we
will proceed to answer your letter immediately - one piece at the time.
Hello, I am a representative of Target Market, an anti-tobacco
grassroots movement led by the teenagers of
Minnesota, with the purpose of targeting the tobacco company in their
attempts to advertise to minors. From reading your website, I don't agree
with giving the tobacco companies freedom to advertise their product
freely.
Freedom to
advertise is protected by the Constitution. Do you propose that we change
the Principles of the Founding Fathers in order to pursue the goals of
Target Market?
They've repeatedly done this by advertising to minors, through the use of
many different methods, and this has been proven. They still do this, and
we as an organization, are raising awareness to try and stop this from
happening.
How do you
propose that people advertise (which by definition is to the public at
large) excluding minors? Censorship, prohibition altogether, or what?... And
who is to decide what to censor or forbid and what to allow – “Public
Health”? “Public Environment”? “Public Safety”?
Your website
states that you are against minors from smoking, yet you do not realize that
most of today's smokers started when they were a minor.
We do not say
anywhere that we are against minors smoking - although we do not
encourage it anymore than we would encourage
them
to eat too many McDonald's
burgers. Of
course people start smoking when they are young, and some of them are
minors. Also, they start drinking when they are young, and having sex as
well. Usually, they start living when they are young -- except for
the poor victims of antitobacco and “public health” such as yourself.
What do you propose, that we forbid advertisement altogether to protect the
young from themselves? Are you so immature, so insecure that you
need a Big Nanny who tells you what to do and what and when to think?... And
if they do that, when do you think you are going to grow up?... Yet you
write such a beautiful, professional, standard letter... or was it
written for you by some antismoking bastard?
Big tobacco
spends billions of dollars each year targeting their products to minors.
So does Big
Pharma - actually, Big Pharma targets everybody, not just minors. And
we know that BP
generously
finances organizations such as yours. Why do you
think they do that?...
The
ingredients used in cigarettes are indeed deadly. As I believe it, nothing
you mentioned in your FAQ, which included Drinking, Driving a car, Gambling,
or having sex, includes the consumption of deadly chemicals such as cyanide
and arsenic.
It'is
the dose that makes the
poison
-- something that they forgot to teach you in school because they were too
busy lying to you about smoking. The quantities are infinitesimal and
indeed, they are quite common in much of what you touch or eat. Driving cars
means generating deadly emissions (which you breathe too -- as a minor).
Condoms as well have deadly chemicals in them when they make them. Yet we
tell you to use
condoms
anyway, and minors
drive cars.
There should
be extreme measures taken to stop the advertising to minors, for the purpose
to addict them for the rest of their lives.
Again, how
extreme do you think
such measures should be – and as far do you think they should
go? Should there be a limit at all, in your little, white fascist vision?
Let us tell you something: extreme measures should be taken against the
professional cons of "public health", enemies of liberty, who have made a
profession out of lies and scam jobs on young people such as yourself. Your
organization has been in political trouble before, and we will work hard to
make sure that it will be in trouble again. Our suggestion to you is to drop
your organization ASAP, and start thinking with your head instead of
borrowing one from professional liars.
