Did anyone else see a sign on the highway that says:
Quote: Smoke. Because no one should infringe upon your right to cough up black phlegm
When I first saw this sign, I was on I-95. I was honking and cheeing with excitement. It was the first public sign that I saw in a long time advocating smokers rights. Then I thought about it a little more. Could that really be an anti-smoking sign? |

Tom, It very well sounds to me like an anti-ad. It may be one from that damned legacy foundation or the truth.
Although, this turn of events does give me an idea: why can't some rich smoker (and there are plenty of them - stars, and the like) give up some of their royalties to rent a highway billboard and put some pro-smoking message on there? Lord knows we've been bombarded by the anti's for long enough, and this is certainly a worthy cause.
Um, back to why I think it's an anti ad: If it said plainly: Smoke. Because no one should have to give up their rights. Then I'd say it's pro-smoking. The bit about coughing up black phlegm makes me believe it's an yet another, unfair, uncalled for jab to smoking (and therefore smokers). |

| You're probably right, Rick. It probably is an anti sign, but It is the coolest anti-smoking sign I've ever seen. It didn't bother me like the one where they show the burning $5 bill, or the licking an ashtray one. This is a strange sign, because it doesn't have any Nazi logos on the bottom, like the american heart association or the american lung association. It just has a surgeon general's warning on the bottom. Now that I know it is an anti sign, I will throw my butt at it next time I pass it rather than raise my butt to it. |
