Every time I see something like this my brain always assumes it's people that actually have the opposite goal and are just trying to make actual activism look bad. Like how all of the "stop smoking" ads are made by tobacco companies. But in all honesty it's probably just me overthinking it and these guys are just dumb.
Their tactic is getting climate change in the news headlines. That tactic is working.
What "stop smoking" ads are made by tobacco companies? When googling, I found a "Philip Morris-funded Foundation for a Smoke-free World", but nothing about ads.
TRUTH was funded by tobacco giants—because the government made them. It was a settlement agreement, if I’m remembering correctly.
Honestly I think they make those TRUTH ads as cringy as possible to make people hate them. Every time I see one I hate it so much it makes me want to start smoking again.
