    My first time ever installing an adblocker was during a rapid anti-smoking campaign

    Those ads made me want to take up smoking out of spite.

      That was the purpose. You see, Big Tobacco actually sponsors the anti-smoking campaigns, which does give them some creative input. They tell the writers to make them as annoying as possible.
