No Ads do not persuade you directly to smoke but they try to lure you indirectly.I am an ex smoker,with strong determination.this also depends on maturity of mind.

definatly not man, this is purely a perception of ur feeling to get what u want from the ads. If u just take an ad as an "ad", no force can compel u t smoke.

Yes, I wanted to be cool like the people that smoke in the ads and the people that I knew.

No, I started smoking from a boyfriend when I was about 12. I thought I was cool.

No they did not. My so called best friend got me to smoke at the age of 16, we were still in Jr High school.

In Canada, smoking ads are banned, so no.
Good old fashioned peer pressure got me started.

Am 48 - still smoke
No -not at all. Both my parents smoked and it was also more peer pressure for me at a young age. You know...to be "cool"
but not so "cool" anymore!
