Go and tell the white people to stop smoking in thier industry , this is nonsense

Please want to smoke and die young. What the use of living in poverty in this zoogeria.

Does it matter ,brands use movies to advertise their brand and reward the movie industry with wealth ,this is one way the movie industries have generated wealth and created million of jobs for the Nigeria youth ,

And we heard FG is proposing of banning it in movies.... Which side are we going to support now.

It is a very selfish marketing Strategy to make more people smoke and die of cancer especially young people watching their favorite actors and actresses smoking in movies. Screw them!
