It looks like you might have borrowed our image of the burning cigarette and curling smoke.

I would appreciate it if you would add the following paragraph to your text above, describing your anti-smoking ad:


The image of the cigarette and smoke was taken from the box cover of a tobacco prevention educational video, A Talk With Your Kids About Smoking, by Patrick Reynolds, a well known US anti-smoking speaker and grandson of tobacco company founder, RJ Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds denounced the tobacco industry in Congress after smoking killed his father, RJ Reynolds, Jr. The video has been bought by 10,000 US schools and health departments.

Mr. Reynolds,
What an honor to ”meet” you here on Instablogs. I applaude your stregnth and courage to stand up to Congress and am sorry for your loss. It only goes to show that ”what one doesn’t know (or care to believe)CAN kill.”

I am thrilled to hear you have chosen the route to educate the youth in your country about the true dangers of cigarette smoking. In my country, Mexico, it is very common to see gradeschoolers smoking and even more common to see full blown addicts in ”highschoolers” (jr high kids here).

As for the ”borrowing” of your copyright image, after reading the article, which is actually a newslink, it appears that the borrowing was done not by the Instablog writer, Balendu, but actually by the AL MARA company, which has used it’s name on your print for it’s anti-smoking campaign..

p.s. Do you have your video in Spanish? My wife was looking for one for a video elementary/jr high were she works.

Thank you and Saludos,
Oscar

an over reaction that was made by patrick reynolds is a an immature in nature,I suggest that one must observe his comments intensively.

I like smoking, make me refreshing.
