Kids start early these days, and while only having shit-flavored cigarettes certainly isn't going to stop them, it at least removes some of the incentive.

I think we're really past the point where kids are 'bombarded' by it.
Hell, the announcers of Top Gear smoked pipes for a comedy bit and they got fined for it.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old�s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
