Santa Smokes Lucky Strikes?!
Only toddlers believe in Santa Claus. No kids above 3 years old will believe in Santa so what’s so bad about Santa smoking?
Sure, the ho ho ho guy may be fictitious but he is a jolly good fellow that supposed to give presents to the good and obedient kids on Christmas Eve. He may not be real but he is a symbol of goodness and wholesomeness. Now, this beautifully illustrated and painted vintage ad is telling me that Santa is sharing the spirit of Christmas by smoking himself, huh? He is also encouraging me to smoke and give my loved ones “a gift of pleasure” (i.e., a present of cigarettes) just don’t go down well with me.
Santa is not spreading the spirit of Christmas. Santa is not asking you and me to give gifts of goodness or gifts of pleasure.
Instead Santa is asking you and me to inhale nicotine, tar and lots of harmful chemicals that’s proven by scientists to cause cancer and respiratory diseases. Santa is asking you and me to damage our own health and at the same time, poison others too. I don’t intend to be his accomplice. I don’t intend to be a murderer.
No thanks, this cannot be the spirit of Christmas. After all, I had successfully quit smoking and I’m not turning back. I had burnt an important part of my life away and I’m done with smoking. You want to buy cigarettes, I would rather you go pick up some smoking aids to quit smoking
