Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Steve Chapman’s column (“What’s with all of this soft thinking about hard liquor advertisements,” Commentary, Dec. 20) could not have been more on the mark.
I enjoyed the “Joe Camel” ads and thought the attack on that ad was idiotic. I smoked for 20 years. Never once did I select a particular brand of cigarette because of advertising.
I began asking everyone I saw who smoked why they started.
Some said peer pressure or machoness, but not advertising.
I hope the alcohol advertisers are entertaining but I would not like to see the advertisers using celebrity endorsements.
