America Gets Tough On Smoking.
This is meant to be an anti smoking campaign to deter teenage smokers. It say's it is Gay to smoke, or smoking is gay. Is this some kind of joke or is America trying to deal with two issues. Http://www.theonion.com/content/video/new_anti_smoking_ads_warn_teens

Here's an anti-smoking slogan for you:

"Smokers are buttheads."

A butthead smoking in the presence of a non-smoker should be treated as an act of assault (be charged and sent to jail), and parents who smoke in front of children should be charged with child abuse. I'm not kidding.

I would also like to see immolation be legalized (dousing in flammable liquid and setting on fire), but there's a danger that bystanders or the person throwing and lighting the fuel might be injured, not just the smoker.

 Maybe we need a slogan for those who are morbidly obese but continue to make poor food choices and allow their children to eat the same unhealthy foods without moderation, allowing them to become morbidly obese in their childhood which will drastically decrease their life expectancy. If we lock up anyone who makes bad choices that can have adverse effects on others, we will have most of our population behind bars.

What’s really funny is that even though The Onion is openly and purely only a farcical and satirical publication quite a surprising number of there ‘stories’ have been picked up by the news media before. Which is a sad statement on the state of journalism these days.
Just last month several newspapers picked up a story where Neil Armstrong was convinced by an utube video that the moon landing was faked.

The instant I saw the word "onion" in the link you provided I knew this post was based on farce. The Onion is pure satire, they publish in books (I have one somewhere) and on the web. Some of their stuff is pretty funny. But if the Onion says smoking is being linked by the government with being gay then you can automatically conclude that's a made up story. No serious news is printed in the Onion.
