Has anyone else seen this anti-smoking ad on YouTube?  It totally bummed me out.  The ad in my opinion is sort of controversial, but I think it delivers a strong, clear message.  The video features a young boy and his mother in an airport.  The kid loses his mom and is standing there looking for her and starts balling.  It's hard to watch the kid so sad.  And the voice over says, if your child becomes this sad over losing you for just a minute, imagine how they feel after losing you for a lifetime.  They may not show the ad because the kid had to cry.  But if the only downside is making a child cry versus saving a few thousand lives, I think it's worth it.

I don't know why it should be controversial? Sometimes it's the ones that are that powerful to make us stop and evaluate the situation. I want to go look it up now.

I dont see why they wont show that? Kids cry all the time, and in movies too, if the kid is going to cry for a few seconds I dont see whats wrong with that at all, itll help a lot of other people quit.
