Kiss me, I'm puking

These twisted new anti-smoking ads from Sedwick Rd, while truly ingenious creations are, unfortunately, unlikely to be effective.
Tim Nudd describes:
"It stars a bunch of creepy, horny little dolls who are constantly stalking each other, desperate to do a little passionate kissing. But wouldn�t you know it�one of them always ruins the vibe by sticking something disgusting in his or her mouth. A cockroach, a rat, a bird, a balled-up chunk of cat puke, whatever�s around. 'Kissing a smoker is just as gross,' explains the tagline."
I like the switch from scaring kids with death (hah! know any pre-teens frightened of death?) to scaring them with the loss of sex. Thing is, kissing a smoker isn't just as gross and you lose credibility when you claim it.
Well finally someone else realizes it. I would much rather kiss a smoker than someone with a dead, thrown up fish in their mouth.
