tobacco belongs nowhere in advertising of skiing. little kids are looking up to these guys, a lot of whom are now sponsored by this General shit. tobacco advertising is not legal in TV or movies, why the hell should it be legal in videos or websites, especially ones showing athletes who little groms idolize.

deal with it people are gonna do whatever and if they can get money from it then let them make money quit bitching is it influencing you in anyway to start snusing

who cares? if a kid is stupid enough to start smoking because a pro skier does, they deserve to die from cancer
 
you know what i hate? money. fuck that shit. just makes it easier for us to enjoy the sport and shit. those fuckers have no place pouring money into out sport and allowing magazines like Freeskiier to function. down with the system
 
kids buy red bull because pros drink it. kids buy skis because they are what their favorite skiers ride. kids buy clothes and outerwear because its what's steezy these days. why do you think smoking or chewing would be any different? i have no problem with somebody smoking or chewing, or whatever, but if some kid does it because peter olenick does, thats fucked up.
 
That's pretty bad. We should do something about it, like a petition, we're NS. We pretty much control everything skiing
 
yeah, it is fucked up. its fucked up that some 14 year old retard would actually think that is a pro skier does it, its ok. maybe if the average age of NS was over 12, we wouldnt have a problem
 
hahaha I can seriuosly see 5 years from now little 13-14 year old shits ordering some snus online through there parents credit card, then packing fat bombs while cruising through the park.
 
pretty irresponsible if you ask me. Sure it's money for Freeskier, which means money for the ski industry overall. But is it really worth the money to compromise morals? With this attitude, who knows what freeskier could end up endorsing. Like I said, it's stupid and irresponsible. Which Freeskier executive with his head up his ass approved this?
 
I hope you know that yesterday, in a press conference, Wallisch said he tried Heroin about three months ago and has had a strong addiction for the past three months.
Say bye to your penis......

OP is a huge pussy.
1) Tobacco pretty much ONLY advertises in sports and magazines because liberal douchebags made them not able to advertise on tv anymore. This is nothing new, at all.
2) Who the fuck cares? If someone uses tobacco its their own decision, just because some snus company sponsors a skier doesn't mean every kid that likes that skier is going to start using them. And if they do fuck them for being dumbasses.
3) If it was an advertisement for Jeagermeister you would have thought it was cool. A drug is a drug buddy.
You are either 12 or seriously uptight.
 
this.

it a product. the company has to sell it. people know the dangers of it and have the right to choose for themselves.
 
I smoke, chew, and snus but advertising it like this is wrong. Kids don't need to see that kind of shit at all. Booze can advertise all it wants but tabacco is a bit different
 
I hate it when teachers/counsellors at my school complain about tobacco advertising. They complain that they make smoking look like a positive thing, which is a fucking stupid thing to say because why would they advertise their product as a negative thing? Tobacco companies are a business, they need to advertise (in a positive matter) in order to sell their product. My english teacher even went as far as calling tobacco advertisements "propaganda"..no shit, all commercials are basically propaganda. And when I called her out on that, she just threw some stats at me about kids smoking or something, which was totally not what I was arguing about, and tried to make me look like the devils advocate in front of the entire class. Fuck grade 10.

You sound like a damn anti-smoking campaign. A drug is a drug. There are many people that enjoy tobacco responsibly. These people include occasional cigar and pipe smokers, and basically the entire middle east (because they smoke hookah tobacco which was such low nicotine and tar content its really not very bad for you).
 
kids buy redbull because it taste good, kids buy skis because they need them/like the graphic/like performance, kids buy the outerwear they think is cool not just because someone rides for them. your logic fucking sucks. i will admit that the 12 year olds on this sight are a bit more susceptible to advertising from pros, but they soon learn to think for them self.

if freeskier wants to run tabacco adds, let them run it! they have to make money somehow, not to mention the largest demographic reading freeskier is older then 18(this was talked about on the ski show) so if a person of legal age wants to smoke/chew then who the fuck cares, not like it affects you in anyway. and if you really think that an add in a shitty magazine is a big deal, then you are way to much of an anal bitch who needs to get their priorities straight
 
you obviously didnt read my entire post, because i said i dont care if some one uses tobacco at a legal age. i just dont think it belongs on sites with such a low age demographic. sure, the majority of freeskier magazine readers are over 18, but the majority of people are over 18. there are a shitload of kids seeing these ads, and seeing that their idols are using tobacco. look, getting half your jaw amputated because you get mouth cancer isnt cool. the fact that things that are known to cause cancer are even legal isnt cool. plus, you are going way beyond any of what i said. i believe i voiced my opinion respectfully and you go on to call me an anal bitch. fuck off.
