I'm a smoker, so for me this TV advertisment has a particular sting. But let's not forget how bad smoking is for you. Understand that cigarettes are harmful and, especially, very addictive. Wikipedia cites WHO claims that in the year of 2004, cigarette consumption resulted in 5.4 million deaths, related to the carcinogenic effects that causes cancers in several parts of the body, including the mouth, the lungs, and the pancreas. Let's not forget about strokes and heart attacks.
So smoking is bad. What am I trying to say here?
The video you just watched is, for the sake of clarity, an anti-smoking ad which claims that two ingredients commonly used in cigarettes can be found in the feces of dogs and the urine of cats. Simply put, when you smoke a cigarette, YOU'RE SMOKING DOG SHIT AND CAT PISS.
That's obviously disgusting, right? Who in their right minds would mix dog poop and cat urine together, set it on fire, and then sit around inhaling the fumes? People who smoke cigarettes, apparently.
There's a lot of myths about cigarette smoking that are simply untrue. For example, a lot of smokers believe that "light" cigarettes contain less "nicotine" or some other ingredient than other cigarettes. That somehow makes these cigarettes "less unhealthy" and therefore "healthier" than "regular" cigarettes. Even non-smokers who try to dissuade friends or family members from smoking often fall into this lie. It would be the equivalent of driving up to a fast food restaurant and asking for a diet water. It's simply ridiculous, and people will give you a look that says: You, sir, are clearly retarded.
And here, now, we have another bullshit advertising campaign that misleads people into believing that cigarettes are made of dog poop and cat pee.
Methane, which is found in dog poop and human fart, is an abundant natural gas found in large concentrations on our planet and even on other planets in the solar system. We pump methane gas into our homes to heat water for our showers and cook our food. Methane is even used as an alternative fuel and is considered by some to be more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels or diesel.
According to "truthorange" the makers of this advertisment, methane powered water heaters and stovetops are heating our shower water and cooking our food with dog poop. That's right, folks, when you take a shower in the morning, you're washing yourself with dog poop. Brown, stinky dog poop that came out of a dog's butt. And when you eat your scrambled eggs and bacon, you're chewing moist, dank dog poop and swallowing it into your stomach, which is already full of dog poop because all your other food was cooked with methane, which is found in dog poop.
And while we're on the subject of food, how did that salad get on your plate? Did you know that 90% of the world's urea goes into agriculture as a fertilizer, according to ICIS? A lot of the bread you eat was made with grains that were planted in and grown on urea-incorporated crop fertilizers. Yes, America breeds hundreds of millions of cats every year and farmers hold them over their thousands of acres of farmland while they pee on your bread and your rice.
So go ahead, have dinner with your family at home tonight. Talk about the news, ask your children how their day was at school. Reach for seconds of soft, mushy dog poop and wash it down with a glass of warm, steamy cat pee. And don't smoke cigarettes.
