I’m not a smoker, although I’ve had a few late-night cigarettes in my day. Now, I have to say, it’s laudable that New York City wants to cut down on smoking. It’s a public-health problem, gross, etc. But the ubiquitous commercials starring the guy with the hole in his throat? Enough already. We see him at the doctor, poolside, at the local baseball fields, you name it, doing that freaky trick of speaking through a microphone that makes him sound like a robot.
