Anti-Smoking Ads Boost Teen Smoking
It seems the anti-smoking crowd forgot about a little thing called reverse psycology but American teens are as vulnerable to it as ever.

I doubt the spearhead behind it forgot at all about teenage rebellion. Never in history has anything more quickly brought negative behavior among the rebellious than to tell them, “Don’t. It’s not good for you.” I reference the account of our first parents in the Garden of Eden. In Geneses 2:17 God said, “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” And the first lie, given to Eve by the serpent in Genesis 3:3b, “Yea, hath God said…?” God of course meant what He said then as He does now. Because the consequences don’t strike immediately, rebellious human nature assumes it has “gotten away with it” or that there is no God. But the Bible is clear in Galatians 6:7 & 8 that God is not mocked and we shall reap precisely as we’ve sown. Sadly, the U.S. is now reaping years of mocking God with sinful behavior as we become the tail and no longer the head of nations.

I’ve always thought that if I ever have children I will make them eat chocolate every meal and deny them broccoli.
