Moscow Poster Says ‘Smoking Kills More People Than Obama’

A Russian anti-smoking ad popped up in Moscow, urging people to not be like Obama by not smoking, and one member of Russia’s parliament isn’t happy.

Be like the high school and college version of Obama and smoke weed openly!

This message, over a Photoshopped image of the USA president puffing on a cigarette, has been appearing on posters advertising a Moscow stop-smoking campaign. In February, a banner replaced the world “hope” in Obama’s 2008 election poster with the world “killer”. So reads a new anti-smoking ad spotted on a bus stop in Moscow, the Guardian reports.

A photograph of the advertisement went viral after Russia’s only liberal MP, Dmitry Gudkov, posted it on Facebook.

Although the uncredited ad attempts to scare off would-be tobacco users who want to avoid being compared to the president, Obama quit smoking because there’s apparently someone even scarier.

No one has claimed responsibility for putting up the ad. For example, a video posted online last week showed Russian students falling down while claiming Obama kills 875 people per week.

A video was also broadcast from the sides of buildings in Moscow calling for him to be tried for war crimes at The Hague.

Numerous unflattering depictions of the American President have appeared across Russian Federation in recent months as tensions between the two countries intensifies, with accusations that he is a “killer” becoming increasingly popular.

Obama said in 2013 that he had not smoked for six years.
