These companies have gone to many other countries with their slick ads which equate smoking with coolness. They aim their ads at kids and teens to get them hooked for life. It is shocking how effective the ads can be! I remember a few anti-smoking ads on TV from years ago. The most impressive was when Yul Brynner was dying of cancer. He was a famous actor best known for his role in "The King and I". He also starred as the Pharaoh in "The Ten Commandments" opposite Charlton Heston's Moses. Yul came on TV, talked about his cancer, and begged people not to smoke. He died about a month later. What he did got a huge amount of attention in the media. Here in the U.S. the major tobacco companies have been sued by many people and even State governments for lying about the terrible health effects of smoking. They have been forced to pay billions of dollars in damages. However, the same companies are still hooking millions of young smokers in other countries on their deadly products. What they do really disgusts me! I am wondering, do American cigarette companies advertise a lot in Jordan?

I think these addictions do indeed drain the family's funds...especially when funds are less than 40 Jds a month!
