Johan Koch : I couldn't have said it better those are the thoughts that ran through my head when I saw those ads! I am a teacher and it upsets me how it seems every vulnerable teen wanting to be cool smokes. It really astonishes me I thought as a society we would have grown out of that belief but then I see the Coast- a paper I thought was cool -caving to the pressure. It reminds me of my "cool friend" who tried to give me smokes in high school.l I feel like I maybe should think about distancing myself from the ignorance. I don't think its so much about censorship as caring about your audience.. There's not too many people that would protest Dan Savage's column even though it can be raunchy and rude but not too many would read it if he told us to run out and have unsafe sex in droves (and meant it) It's about caring about your readership and I feel that the Coast just doesn't care anymore.
