Stop wasting our tax dollars on graphic and ineffective anti-smoking commercials

These commercials are offensive and not suitable for children. They play at all times of the day and are a waste of taxpayers' money. Additionally, people who see these types of commercials remnain uninfluenced by them. If current smokers have seen friends, family, etc. die from smoking-related diseases, why would a commercial make a difference? Most people are aware of the dangers of drugs, yet we have one of the worst heroine epidemics in years. PEOPLE KNOW. Let people make their own choices without spending OUR money on useless things.
