Grisly toll of smoking bared in shocking new anti-cig ad - New York Daily News

Rotted teeth. Twisted lips. A diseased lung.

These startling and sickening images are featured in the city Health Department's latest anti-smoking television commercial, which debuted yesterday.

It's the department's most graphic TV spot to date.

"Cigarettes are eating you alive," the announcer says as views of a beating heart and blackened lung flash across the screen.

The ad also features creepy closeups of a deformed mouth.

"Hard-hitting ads work," said Sarah Perl, assistant health commissioner for tobacco control.

"We want to counter the glamorous images that the tobacco industry is putting out," she said, "and as the new year approaches, we want to motivate people to quit - and to remind them that help is available."

The department will spend $1.2 million over the next five weeks to air the ads on local, cable and Spanish-language television stations.

Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden and his department have mounted an aggressive battle against smoking since he was appointed in 2002.

According to the Health Department, smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths in New York City, estimated at about 10,000 a year.

I think to all countries will be a preventable to deaths. The campaign should be deliberately discuss and explained to the people and continuous to let them conscious of the effects.

Some anti smoking campaigns are brilliant for their ideas, some are brilliant cos they show exactly what might happen to a smoker. I prefer the second approach cos it;s more visual. Just like this one.

Cigarettes Are Eating You Alive Campaign was a campaign originally developed by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. It has been adapted by the Cancer Institute NSW for use in Australia.

This campaign visually depicts how smoking damages vital organs of the body and causes serious health problems in children exposed to cigarette smoke. I appreciate the efforts taken by this campaign who offered smokers help quitting by providing them a federal quit line number.

It's the department's most graphic TV spot to date."Cigarettes are eating you alive," the announcer says as views of a beating heart and blackened lung flash across the screen. Hence it is quite a useful information.
