The ad looks like something out of the 60's or 70's. We try to be a little more responsible about using deadly drugs in advertisements these days.

You'd think so, the ad is in the December 2010 issue.

I am an ex smoker. I smoked for 36 years. I was at my mother's side when she died of lung cancer.
And I feel that you are being overly sensitive. To attempt to outlaw the showing of any photo anywhere that somebody may find to be unpleasant would be going way too far in my opinion.

So sorry for your loss, and it's great that you quit. Smoking contributed to my mother's very early death as well. It took me about 5 years of trying to stop before I put that awful addiction behind me about 15 years ago.

I wouldn't even consider outlawing it, but I would express my dissatisfaction with the backward view of success they've chosen to portray.
