Thank you for (not) smoking

I found this video particularly interesting because just yesterday I was Skyping with my friend Mara, who is currently studying abroad in France. I mentioned my blog about smoking, and she said that "true Europeans" (aka the French) view smoking as a way of life - everyone smokes everywhere. She even mentioned that she sees preteen girls standing outside of their middle school smoking cigarettes, which in France is not only seen as socially acceptable, but legal. The video is from December 24, 2007.

Nous vous remercions de (non) fumeurs

I was abroad in Europe last semester and smoking definitely is a way of life. I know a number of Americans that picked up the habit while abroad there because it truly is a part of every single day you spend there.

I really like the use of statistics in this video and the background music helped the viewer to become more immersed in this video. Good choice of video!
