What's the cigarette even supposed to indicate in this? Brusqueness? Irritation? What do children take away from this? That people who smoke cigarettes "mean business" and make for convincing subjects of political propaganda? It's a wry slap in the face for health advocates, ex-smokers and anyone who's ever been ill or has seen those fall ill, or die as result of tobacco smoke.
If smoking can be restricted on television and in movies, it should be restricted from the political process. I don't say this as a reactionary, but it was completely tertiary to the message and ultimately useless stage business.

You don't seem to understand the point of the article. Its purpose is to educate and by doing that, it's making people more aware. It's so easy to say BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD!!!! but to create change you will most definitely need support from other people. Nothing wrong about fostering community engagement, that's exactly what this post is doing.
Also wanted to say that this post is totally on point. Those examples of sexist campaigns and "charity work" are disgusting. In the end they are just hurting women more than helping them.
Dear Anonymous:
That is simply one of the lamest responses I have ever seen to serious and documented concerns about the impact of these policies on children's health. No wonder you lack the courage to put your name on your silly name-calling.
