If you want the credit for finding it (I don't think it's been reported already), take a screenshot and send it to the BBloopers submissions at BBspot

Sorry, but it makes perfect sense to me. It takes 7 days to "wean" you off the cigarettes until you're not smoking at all, but then you need the maintenance to STAY off them.

To me...quiting implies that you've been weened. Quiting means just that: you've QUIT, and aren't going back :)

I do not find this ad at all problematic.

I for one believe that there is a distinction to be made between "weaning" and "quitting". One can effectively quit something while still harbouring a desire to return to that activity. In order to ensure that one does not return to such actions or activities requires the "weening process", hence the 30 day supply of this product.

Perhaps the most important facet to be considered is that the supply is "Free". Works of me.

I know someone who has quit twice and, despite the fact that smoking is literally killing him, after a few months he has started again. So there is no guarantee that anyone will quit for good ever. Some people have better willpower than others.

(I'm not talking from personal experience - never touched the stuff myself, but both of my parents quit successfully a long time ago.)

I have a bridge for sale that runs between Brooklyn and Manhatten, cheap! and can sell it to you in no more than 7 days. Just mail me the money and I'll mail you the deed.
