Do you think words like 'silver, silky, smooth' on cigarette packaging mislead consumers into believing that cigarette smoking is not a hazardous habit?

Anyone who thinks smoking is not hazardous is delusional, no matter what words the advertisers use! :)

I believe that was true once upon a time; but with all the honesty in advertising that is no longer true. Now the disclaimer printed directly on each package of cigarettes says something to the effect that cigarette smoking has been found to be hazardous to your health. It used to say may be hazardous to your health. There is no question it is hazardous no matter what the descriptive words on the package may say.

They may have at one time, but given what is known about tobacco smoking today, I consider it in the best interest of human evolution to let those who fall for such marketing go right ahead and smoke.

No. I think it is a way to appeal to smokers who know what qualities they are looking for in the taste of a smoke.

Have you ever noticed that they use the same terms for alcohol? There are naive people all around the world taken in by these words.
