people like you and him need to the long version instead of the 3 word version to make it more intellectual for you.
He talks shit about tabaco commercials propaganda, when they are banned for over a decade already.
So basicly he is talking out of his neck
And you are defending him.
Are they banned or not?
Now go argue with your angry wife, and keep your non meaning discussions at her
A simple Google search reveals in Netherlands where you are from that 2002 was the year smoking ads bans took effect.
My guess you are are in your 30's maybe even 40 which means you had a good 15-20 year of exposure to smoking ads. Which influenced your younger impressionable self greatly.
Don't forget I said subliminal ads which never went away they just became more covert.
Conclusion. You are a full blown addict today which is a testament that the ads have worked perfectly on you.
Also the ads were banned in most of the world precisely because they were so effective they got people addicted like no one's business. Nearly everyone was smoking even small kids. The ads were banned and smoking decreased dramatically as a result.
