Victoria (Australia): Smokers get lung cancer reminder

The council and anti-smoking body Quit on Monday relaunched their 23-year-old television advertisement showing a smoker's lung, represented by a sponge, filling with tar and being squeezed out into a beaker.

Research from the Cancer Council Victoria shows that despite smoking accounting for 80 per cent of all lung cancer cases, six in 10 smokers did not mention it when asked to name diseases caused by smoking.

Quit Goes For The Carotid

Quit Victoria has launched a new graphic TV ad showing a surgical removal of fatty deposits in the neck of a smoker. The goal is to emphasize the risk of stroke for smokers (that was also the theme of the recent media campaign in New South Wales). The ad is also posted on YouTube that tells us the ad will run on TV from May 31 to June 23.
