"It's horrible that people abuse themselves by smoking cigarettes and give tobacco companies
money while they're dying!"

"These companies that produce these advertisements just want money. All they care about is making money. They couldn't care less if somebody dies from their cigarettes or their advertisements. They just want to make the money".

Deanna Durrett - teenager
"Tobacco companies know what they're doing and they know that they're targeting young people. We are their future, we're their profit. They use cartoons and ads with models and it makes young people think, Oh, if I do this then I'll lose weight or I'll look as pretty or be as cool. And so were targeted every day"

Bill Stone (adult smoker)
"They targeted the young people that were coming up. You know, cigarettes were harmless. The commercials came on, smoke this cigarette and it's springtime, smoke this cigarette and girls will fall in love with you, smoke this cigarette and you'll become cool. I'm surprised to find out that tobacco companies for years had knowledge of the damages of smoking cigarettes. I remember when I was younger and they would talk about putting labels on the packs that say cigarette smoking was dangerous but all the time the people who sold the cigarettes kept say-ing they weren't. They don't sell cocaine across the counter! They don't sell heroin across the counter! Big business is behind cigarettes and they prey on the young and they're making a lot of money cause they have so many people hooked on it. Guys like me, maybe I may have ten to fifteen more years if I continue to smoke cigarettes and then they'll have to get someone else to replace me. Most likely somebody's kid!"
