When I first stumbled upon these French anti-smoking ads, I thought it was some sort of prank or gimmick -- very similar to that fake Sprite ad that went viral a few months ago. But alas, this one is a legit campaign.
Likening smoking to sexual slavery and pedophilia, as one who is dead-set against smoking, even I find the French anti-smoking ads in bad taste. What about you?
