The Canadian Health Ministry has just released some rather creative and humerous PSA videos to get an important point across. The first video is all about Social Nibbling and how a guy doesn’t have to buy his own nibbles, he can just have some of other people’s nibbles and just does it for fun. The second PSA is about Social Farting and in the video, a woman talks about how she’s not a farter, she’s a social farter. In the third video, it’s all about Ear Wax Picking. In that video, the woman talks about how ear wax picking is a great way to meet people and that she feels like she looks good doing it.
The point they’re trying to make is with relation to smoking and how social smoking is still smoking. The video is part of their “Quit The Denial” campaign. “Social nibbling, social farting, and social ear wax picking are as ridiculous as social smoking. Research shows that almost 2/3 of young people who finish just one cigarette will become daily smokers.” Watch the videos below!

What a stupid campaign. I hope my tax dollars aren’t paying for this. I seriously doubt that casual 2nd hand smoke is that much of an heath issue – in fact, when they were banning smoking in restaurants, it was proven that it’s not. If your lungs are that weak where this is an issue – then wear a freaking mask. I bet breathing in fumes from a busy downtown street would be ten times more dangerous. These are just anal retentive wierdos. These are the same people who have about 20 modifications to their orders in restaurants and complain to a manager if their fries are too cold.
I’m not even a smoker. If I’m at a party or hosting one – you better believe I’m not putting my friends out in the cold. It is a social activity after all.
