Do you think that seeing celebrities smoking has an influence on young people?
Celebrities are papped all the time with cigarettes, or even flouting smoking bans (I'm looking at you, Gaga). Do you think this has a negative effect on society? Is this more influential that Government anti-smoking campaigns?

Yes because celebrities are everywhere in the media, and we teens cannot escape from it. They have a more powerful influence simply because they're famous so addicting to read about.
I think celebrities should educate the dangers of smoking, drugs, alcohol for those who are more vulnerable to these things.
But then, there are smart teenagers like me who watch people like Lindsay Lohan drink and party late night til 4am in the morning, read about her dumb actions, and it actually teaches me the consequences.. and that i do NOT want to end up like her! haha
