Well, from where do you suggest they emanate? The mouth, the top of the head or elsewhere ....

Seriously though, no one is suggesting we limit our respiration so direct human production of CO2 is not highlighted. It's our behavior and lifestyle choices (and - to be fair - compulsions) the producers wish to address. I don't recall the adds clearly (I see very very little TV) but I don't think they draw attention to one very important contributer to our carbon footprint - our food. It's amazing to find out how much fossil fuel is in steak, icecream, biscuits or in eating tropical fruit in July. (BTW if you are in Sydney tomatoes are OK. They are all grown in greenhouses around the edge of the city. Lettuce on the other hand are flown in from Alice Springs.)
