NY and No Smoking.

So we have DirectTv and our "local" (ABC,CBS,NBC...) channels in HD are based out of New York and so we always have all the ads for New York's stuff so some of it is pretty entertaing. The local commericals that are so low budget and trying to be cool are so funny and It seems that every single day somebody is shot in New York. This morning apparently a child was playing outside his house and got shot by the NYPD. Too much crime and drama in that place for me. But thats not the reason I am writing this, This morning as I was just watching Regis and Kelly in HD I saw an ad for "NY Quits" which is this quit smoking campaign for the state of New York. They provide a 1-800 number for people to call to see if they qualify for free nicotine patches and a whole kit to quit smoking. I think that is a pretty cool campaign. I mean, now if you live in New York you really have no reason to quit smoking. More states should do that because some people seriously get addicted to smoking.

I just don't get it though. I don't think cigarettes are addicting, but then again I rarely smoke, it's just more of a drunk thing ;)

P.S. They have got some HILARIOUS commercials for local companies up there. They are sooo cheeeessseeeeyyyyyyyy;)
