Let's tell it straight.
« on: January 14, 2023, 16:57 »
Good evening everyone,   a cigarette packet carries lurid pictures of 'nasties', so shouldn't adverts on the box carry a disclaimer saying,

(These persons are actors and have been paid to say these words of endorcement for this product).

But I do not think it will come off!

Cheers,  Tony.

Not quite sure what you mean? Are you anti-smoking or do you partake of the occasional ciggie?
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

I've never smoled in my life,  I was referring to the practice of "celebrities" endorcing products 'fronting' as a member of the public saying how wonderful that product is and pocketing a wodge of cash,  this practice should be explained to the viewers!

Cheers,  Tony.

I didn’t think that smoking was advertised on TV.

I'm guessing Tony means the people in the pics on ciggie packaging.. are they actors, or are they real people.. I'm also guessing the people in the pics would either be paid or would sign some sort of disclaimer!

I didn’t know they put pictures on the cigarette boxes  :wacko:

Hows about a note saying something like, 'No slebs were hurt during the photography of these pictures'?

That should take up another few column inches on the packet!

When we used to smoke, all those years ago, a clever company brought out personalised fag packet cases, into which you could slip your B&H, Gold Leaf or whatever, and make the packet invisible! My mum actually had a cigarette case which held just four fags - I wonder what happened to it, as it was solid silver...
