As I was waiting for Family Guy to start a few minutes ago, I saw one of the CDC's new Anti-smoking Commercials. I don't normally notice these commercials, but this one was pretty graphic--with people talking about losing limbs/extremities due to their smoking habit.
I was unable to find the commercial on YouTube, but I did find a video of a news station talking about it.

I just can't believe the lengths these commercials go to in order to make a point. I'm unsure if I actually believe that a dude in his twenties or thirties became a double amputee solely because of a smoking habit. Am I alone in this? Would the commercial to be graphic enough so that smokers would actually quit?
My personal background--ex-smoker, quit because the damn things were costing me too much.
