They remind me of a lot of driver education films from the 70's and 80's of mangled bodies and carfrom teens having car wrecks. I just don't think much of either as a deterrent.

The findings in this report indicate that from 2000 to 2011, significant declines occurred in the use of current tobacco, combustible tobacco, and cigarettes among middle and high school students, suggesting that tobacco control policies and programs have an impact on tobacco use among U.S. youths (2). The rate of decline in youth cigarette smoking was slower during this period compared with 1997–2003, which followed years of increase in the prevalence of youth cigarette use during the 1990s (2).

Aren't smokers ostracized enough that that is gone. I was never once pressured to smoke a cigarette growing up.

And who has his-and-hers bathtubs side by side out in the middle of nowhere, with no hot water hookup, anyway?!
