It does depend on how the facts are presented,  however, from all I
have heard about the ad campaign, they were careful not to use scare
tactics, but to present facts in humorous, attention getting, but not
scary ways.
Sometimes the facts are scary - smoking causes nasty cancers and other
life shortening diseases is a scary fact, but we all need to know it,
even smokers.
