Smoking has always been the rebellious thing to do, so the ads just make it more enticing. Also the shock ads of showing statistics on death rates doesn't help dissuade a teen who figures that's a long time from now anyway (death is what happens to old people).

If they gave every 13 year old a free packet of cigarettes and forced them to smoke them, *that* might work as an anti-smoking campaign.
