Hey. I must say you designs are really intense and terribly captivating. I would like to suggest you to float these designs to aware people against smoking
Nice Photos and manupulation. Thanks for share.
Personally I think what a lot of garbage, first of with out keeping a control group in isolation breathing the purest air they can for their entire lives, a group of smokers, non smokers and passive smokers any result is flawed. I’m not saying it ain’t bad, but the anti smoking lobby takes the worst cast scenario and scare mongers everyone in to believing it will happen to everyone.
Ad’s like these a grossly irresponsibly and promote a contempt, hate and or acceptance of discrimination as well as Vilanizing smokers. I believe there was this guy called Hitler, who Ironically for all Intensive purposes lead the anti smoking movement, who did much the same as the anti smoking lobby which resulted in the deaths of millions of Jews.
It is my personal choice to smoke, and I try to be considerate. I know the potential risk, I accept that and any consequences of that. What I do not accept is these so called do gooders who are prepared to take away personal choice and impose their will on the population of the world. It’s Fascism to a degree and it scares me to think how many people are prepared to give up their personal will to have someone else views imposed on them…. I mean how long is before someone imposes something you don’t like on you.
Our personal choice is something that we must under no circumstances ever lose.
That is so true. I started to smoke at the age of 12 nd I realized that it was fucking up my life so at the age of 14 I decided to stop nd I have been tobacco free for one year nd I fill great.
amazing digital art.. im impressed
Great ideas for delivering the message, extremely creative. Thanks for share..
I just quit smoking.
great photos && ideas.
Smoking is bad for you? I had no idea!! Thank you so much, all of you, for posting this article and all of your posts! I’ll quit right away!
was a very different work. Covers the whole world must fight against smoking. Measures should be taken more seriously. Thank you for Sharing.
Damn, man.
I cant even blow smoke rings let alone smoke guns!11!!
Okay so my father smoked while i was a kid and I have had no negative effects from it as far as i can tell. I have no issues with asthma or any breathing issues at all. My growth was not stunted cause i’m six foot and a little pudgy. Does smoking lead to lung cancer? the answer is yes. however, second hand smoke isn’t super leathal like these adds are claiming. I have been around a smoker all my life and have suffered no ill effects.
Your argument is fallacious for the reason that you’re projecting your own experiences as being the general truth. Like those people who say “My grandma smoked 40 a day and lived to be 100 so smoking can’t be bad!” just because it happened for you does not mean it’s the same for everyone. The evidence is that second hand smoke causes all sorts of problems in children – the fact you got lucky does not change that.
I hate it when people say “smoking isnt bad, more people die of obesity than smoking” that just means that they are BOTH bad.
Most of these posters/ads show nothing untrue, although some of them are a little rediculus. But has anyone noticed that most people who have left comments on this page are complaining about them and the fact that people are trying to prevent smoking?? If smoking isn’t a big deal then why are you getting offended by people want to prevent it. It shouldn’t matter to you. Let those who want to listen to the advice listen, and if you don’t believe that smoking is a health risk… then don’t listen to them. It really doesn’t effect you.
I think these ads are really creative, and a great way of trying to get the message across. Good Work!
A lot of you are arguing that others around you should not be making decisions in your life, as in a smoker sitting by you in a restaurant that allows smoking is making the decision to shorten your life as well as his/her own.
Have you not thought about simply moving away from the smoker? Sure, it may be an inconvenience to you, however it may be an inconvenience to the smoker to put his cigarette out for you. Smokers make their decisions – make yours as well.
For the record: I am not a smoker. I don’t oppose smoking, and I don’t promote smoking.
Guess what? You’re all going to die, one way or another. No one here is safe from dying, and in fact things in your environment will kill you. Do you walk down the street? The New England Journal of Medicine says car exhaust is up to ten times more dangerous than cigarette smoke. Do you ever go out for fast food, through the drive thru. Yeah, you’re getting about four packs of cigarette damage just sitting there in your car. The sad thing is, the media has you so convinced you are going to live forever that now you think its okay to discriminate against people who make different choices. For me, its a matter of practicality. We won’t have social security when we get older, we also won’t have employee retirement packages (unless you work for the government or an incredibly good company). I would rather not take up space, or starve instead of die of lung cancer. I live my life to the fullest every day, and smoking is part of that, because its part of this country, of this world. I don’t want to live forever, or even another fifty years. I’ve lived a great and full life, and when my time comes I won’t be whining that I didn’t get to take up more tax dollars and selfishly extend my life. If you guys would do some research you could find a cause worth spiriting, something that actually hurts people that we can all agree is horrifying, like starvation.
Joshua,
You are retarded.
It is not just about “choices”, it’s about bad choices, that affect your health and the health of those around you.
I don’t know how you will live your life to the fullest every day, while having several problems with your respiratory system, without being able to run, having cardiovascular problems, bad brain irrigation, premature erectile dysfunction, etc. It’s not just you are going to die from lung cancer, you are going to live with a poor quality of life, and make others suffer the same consequences.
Not only that, ruining your own health wil ruin the health of your descendants too.
So, please Grow up.
Fact: More people die from obesity than they do from smoking, first hand or other. Think about that next time your ostracizing smokers while sucking down that Whopper (which has in itself enough caloric, fat, sodium, carb content for 2/3 days worth of food intake.)
We make ads, campaigns, awareness against Smoking. We ban it in public areas and in whole cities. Yet what is being done about Obesity? Nothing. Not a damn thing. Instead they push fast food more and more. They intice you in further by claiming things like “drive thru diet” because it has “less fat.” Sure it has less fat, but all the fat it DOES have is ALL saturated!
Even regular non fast food is caked with so much sodium, it just widens the range of people dying from Blood Pressure and Cardiac issues.
Most “meals” you eat contain more sodium than you are suppose to intake in a single day, and I bet most of you load salt on top of said meals.
The Moral? If you are going to segregate and berate smokers, then you better round up all the heavy people and equally ostracize them for eating fast food. Then, boycott Burger King, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, etc etc.
@Jessie. Sam is partially correct in that “hard to quit” is a cop out and whinny. I have quit before and I tell you what, it is EASY not Hard! MOST people that “try” to quit are not trying. They cut down a bit to ween themselves off of the addiction, or use nicoret. That’s the WORST way to quit. You are keeping your body in constant withdrawl by cutting down slowly! You have to go cold turkey and that is the ONLY way to do it properly. You wouldn’t put a heroine addict in rehab and slow down his injections at first would you? Heck no, they make them do cold turkey. That is NO different than this.
Just to reply to one of the ad’s:
53,000 people die yearly from second hand smoke Globally
440,000 people die from 1st hand smoking Globally.
365,000 people die yearly from obesity in the US alone! JUST THE US!!!
With over 1.7 BILLION people suffering from Obesity, it is THE leading preventable cause of death worldwide.
But yea, smokers are the bad guys
I have to agree with every point you make about obesity Michael, except it’s not obesity that’s the problem (more on that in a second).
“But yea, smokers are the bad guys”
Not at all. Smokers are simply targets.
The reason they’ve become such, and marginalized as they are, is that they no long have effective corporate lobbying shielding their collective habit.
“*WHAT*!?” you gasp, “Lobbying has *nothing* to do with smoking *or* obesity!”
Au contraire, mon frer. It has everything to do with that, and the epidemic of obesity running riot world wide.
Corporations within the US now enjoy more rights and privileges than any individual, supposedly free, citizen. You will notice they have the “right” to bring their products to market, despite them being demonstrably harmful to the environment, the economy, and the consumer.
Why? Because they have lobbyists and lawyers massaging the ears and pocketbooks of those elected to represent us. They have insinuated themselves into and suborned the very agencies supposed to protect us. They do everything possible to keep us distracted from what they are doing and fearful of making a fuss.
A single chemical company has set its sights on becoming the sole provider of seed corn / soy / cotton / wheat / vegetables / etc., etc., etc. in the US, and possibly the world.
To that end it suescustomers and rivals, spends millions lobbying, stacks regulatory agencies with ex-employees, and hires dubious “experts” to foster their agenda, to make their GE seed the de facto standard for production agriculture.
Lobbyists for agri-corporations have induced 13 states to enact laws making it financial suicide to criticize food producers. Informally known as veeggie libel laws, they exist to protect agricultural corporations from negative publicity. Remember Oprah getting sued for comments about mad cow disease?
There’s more, so much more, that I could wax rhapsodical about the subject and bore you to tears *but*…
The long and short of it is this:
Obesity is a symptom.
Smoking is a symptom.
Any over consumption is a symptom.
The true problem is corporations who value profit above all else, and government that enables them. Companies, working hand in hand with politicians, view us not as people, but as consumers, taxpayers, revenue streams, something to be tapped in order to survive, and discarded when we are no longer useful.
To cure the symptoms, we must first cure the causes.

As a smoker, these pictures do nothing more than make me want a cigarette. In this day and age, we all know smoking is not the healthiest of choices, but honestly, it’s my life and I plan on doing what I like with it. It’s an addiction, and a very hard one to quit at that. It’s so much a part of my every day life, it would be hard without it. I have tried to quit twice, and it’s the hardest thing to do. If anyone has an addiction, they’ll know how it is. It’s not like we can just up and quit in a day and go on with our lives. It’s impossible.
Bullshit. Whiny, pathetic, victim bullshit.
I’ve smoked and quit more times than I care to remember, starting when cigarettes were 25¢ from machines you found *everywhere*.
You made the decision to stick that nasty, disease ridden (you *DO* know that I’m talking about the fact that cigarettes have been found to carry everything from Clostridium to e Coli and back, because the farms can be fertilized with untreated sewage, SINCE IT’S NOT A FOODSTUFF, right?), cancer stick in your face. You can just as easily make the decision to stop.
But instead, you choose to hold on to it, rationalize it, say “it’s my life” and continue on your merry way.
Well guess what. It’s not your life. You don’t live in a vacuum. Your relatives will be affected by your decision. Your children will [if you're old enough to have spawned any]. You will affect everyone in this forum who’s a taxpayer, because while you’re likely sorta healthy looking / feeling now…when you start getting old enough you’ll more than likely be sucking off of government medical assistance, because private insurers will have dropped you like a hot potato.
So grow a pair. Stick it to the corporations. Stand up for something. Quit … or die sooner.
It’s up to you.
It’s not really whining. Nor is it victim bullshit. It’s my opinion on this topic. I was just stating how I feel about it. Don’t try to pretend you’re better than me because you’ve quit, which I’m assuming you have due to the context of your post, when you were also a smoker yourself. You’re still going to have some of the same problems as every other smoker in the world.
And I plan on dying sooner, thank you. Maybe I’ll quit someday in the future, maybe not. And don’t tell me to stand up for something. You have no idea what I do with my life.
“It’s not really whining. Nor is it victim bullshit.
Yeah, it is. Reread your own words:
“It’s an addiction, and a very hard one to quit at that. It’s so much a part of my every day life, it would be hard without it.”
Victim / whining. Smoking controls you, and life will suck without my crutch.
“I have tried to quit twice, and it’s the hardest thing to do.”
Victim. The evil substance is at fault, I’m powerless and impotent in the face of it, and have given up.
“If anyone has an addiction, they’ll know how it is. It’s not like we can just up and quit in a day and go on with our lives. It’s impossible.
Victim / defeatist / generalization. You pick a day, you make the decision, you quit and take any steps necessary to support that decision.
Does it mean you’re instantly successful? No.
You’re successful only as long as you don’t smoke/drink/sex/eat/drug/what ever, for the day. For a while that decision, and the steps you take to accomplish it, *is* your life. But after a while it’s not, because while you weren’t looking you did the “impossible”.
Plenty of people have accomplished the “impossible”, and they all started by deciding that whatever it was they were going to pull off *was* possible.
“Don’t try to pretend you’re better than me because you’ve quit…”
I didn’t, you assume that. What I did was call your shit what it is. Opinion or not, it’s victim thinking, defeatist attitude, and in short, bullshit.
“You’re still going to have some of the same problems as every other smoker in the world.”
Wrong again buttercup. Here’s a picture to help present the medical facts: http://blisstree.com/files/2007/06/smoking_timeline_2070×1530.gif
And here’s another medical fact: Having spent time in the healthcare profession in my life, I can state categorically that if *any* active smoker enters surgery they will heal more slowly, be at peril for more complications, and risk their surgery being ineffective.
It doesn’t matter whether that surgery is to fix a shattered limb at age 20, or implant a prosthetic joint at 60, the fact is that active smokers are handicapping their own healing by the choice they make.
“And I plan on dying sooner, thank you.”
More’s the pity for you.
“And don’t tell me to stand up for something. You have no idea what I do with my life.”
Nor do you have any idea of mine, but that’s not the point.
You did not refute any statement I made in my previous post, so I’m going to stand up and say clearly:
The issue is smoking.
Clinging to something that harms you, in spite of factual evidence that it does so, is stupid.
Rationalizing that any substance is more powerful than you are is weak.
Refusing to debate the issue on the facts is cowardly.
Making this into something personal is avoidance.
Clear?
It is one’s right to harm your own body should you choose, but it is NOT a right and morally wrong to harm anyone else around you. The difference between smoking and obesity is that obesity only harms that person. Sure there are other things to consider such as the bad eating habits being a bad influence on people around that person and when the person dies due to obesity related illness the family and friends are emotionally effected, but to poison and suffocate a non-smoker when all they are doing is simply breathing….There is a huge difference between these two things!
Sam is right. You are pathetic.
You have no real drive to quit. Yeah, you want to die young, but maybe that’s just whatever shitty angst you have. How old are you? If you’re between 13 and 23, you are a fucking moron for saying you want to die young. You don’t know what that means–you don’t have meaning in your life yet, and you’re throwing potential years of health and happiness away because, right now, you are listening to that little bullshit “I have nothing to give to the world” voice in your head.
Story time: My girlfriend was a smoker. She’s 20 now, started when she was 13. She quit for a few months, started again when she got her license at 16. She’d practically been smoking for 6 years, with little time between quits.
We agreed, after reconnecting online, to start dating about 8 months ago, and when we did that I mentioned–without any intent of getting a reaction–that I found smoking unattractive because all my grandparents died of smoking-related illness. Without telling me she quit. She slipped up once or twice, took a puff of one of her friend’s already-lit cigs, but caught herself and stopped. She went to see me on November 21st. She hasn’t even touched a cigarette since, because she “doesn’t need it anymore.”
It may sound stupid, and I don’t have a proper way to phrase it, but she found meaning somewhere. She found something that makes her not want to just die young, a reason to stay healthy and keep her health. She’s looking into her physical future and actually caring about herself because she found a reason to.
You don’t have any reason to quit. You’re just a pathetic tool to the machine of tobacco. “It’s too hard”–bullshit. You don’t want to quit because you don’t see any meaning in your own goddamned life, so you don’t think there’s any reason to quit.
You are your problem.
Cigarettes are one of society’s problems.
People like you are the problem.
My mom always asks, “Why pick up a habit that in 30 years, you will spend the rest of your life regretting?”
It’s because kids and young adults don’t fucking see into their future. They don’t realize how horrible it will feel. It’s not an instant, gun-shot death–it’s a slow, painful, year-long decline to dust, filled with bodily failure and suffocation. They don’t see that, years down the line, they will find meaning. They don’t realize that high school and angst-y problems go away and something better comes to replace it.
So they make a stupid decision, not thinking about the consequences, and for that, when they finally grow the fuck up, they realize their error and regret it.
So have fun regretting.
Some of these images are incredible – I dont’ smoke myself but if I did I think some of these would put me off.
Debbie
Yup.
I can only hope they do that for others.
Do you know who first started anti-smoking campaigns? NAZIS! That’s who!
Just because they were fascists doesn’t mean they were stupid.
Actually, the Nazis were quite intelligent. Hitler was a sociopath, but not an idiot. He had enough of an understanding of sociology to brainwash generations of intellectuals into hating the Jews for no goddamned reason. They were led by bad people, they did bad shit, and there were good people in them who were just trying to follow something that had meaning, but to think they were idiots is being stupid yourself. And for the record, I’m Jewish.
HOLY SHIT. Smoking is bad for you? I had no idea!! Thank you so much, all of you, for posting this article and all of your posts! I’ll quit right away!
Seriously?
I don’t plan on living a long life and becoming dependent on somebody else for my own survival. Until that day comes, I live life on my own terms, doing whatever the hell I see fit. So go on and shoot off at the mouth about your anti-smoking bs, I’ll be the one over here, laughing and loving my life.
You people make me sick.
Running by you smoking makes me sick. Why should you make decisions about my life?
Well…First off, I don’t smoke myself. Kicked that habit in my early adult life. Second off, the anti-smoking campaigners is full of bullshit. We all know smoking aint good for you, but there is no study showing that passive smoking lead to lung cancers or what have you. You’re more likely to develop lung problems walking near heavy traffic to be honest. Those studies that where made where inconclusive but the antismoke lobby got no problems making stuff up to get their point acroess. Truth is, these images, while well made and some quite inventive wont get anyone to stop smoking and I dont think they would stop anyone from starting either. Let people smoke as much as they want. I really hate those idiots who make it a point to cough and wheeze everytime they get near a smoker. They make only themselfes look like some foolish controlfreaks and they piss off people for no good reason at all just so they can go back home and pat themselfes on their back for trying to embarrass some poor individual and make themselfes feel good. Bah, pathetic.
There are lots of studies proving that passive smoking leads to lung cancer and plenty of other diseases. Check the Wikipedia entry for passive smoking, for a start. This line that it’s not proven is just untrue – a tobacco industry lie that they plant here and there to help people feel okay about smoking and fouling up everyone’s air.
Wrong. Those studies where inconclusive. Also, Wikipedia is a very bad source. Half of it is made up on the spot, the rest is lying.
Hilarious, Chris. Interesting how the Wikipedia entry on passive smoking cites many, many current and available pieces of scientific research and your comments do not.
I wont bother with citing sources. Everyone know Wikipedia can, and is edited by anyone with a keyboard(and an agenda mind you) so its next to worthless as a source.
To see how the anti-smoke campaign is making stuff up, watch the Penn&Teller episode they made about them. The study both the wikipedia entry and alot of doctors refer to is the EPA study they made back in the 80’s. It’s been proven that they lied on it, removed conflicting evidence to make it say what they wanted.
It’s like the BMI index alot of doctors use, and think is factual. Sure, it was relevant back in the early 1900 when some douche made it, but since people live better and longer lives today, and have entirelly different bodystructure and weight, its equally worthless as a source.
Actually, a new study shows that one cigarette a month can lead to an addiction.

Passive smoking leads to regular smoking.
wow.. what a creatively.. amazing digital art.. im impressed
Some very iconic images here – food for thought
The artwork was great, but to me it was only artwork. As a smoker of 11 years, I have to say that the only thing that it did was make me want another smoke break. But, this would make a great thing to show young people who are thinking about smoking, maybe it will stop them from starting. Maybe if there were pictures like this when I was younger, I wouldn’t have started smoking.
I think you hit the point Meredith. These images are more suited for the younger ones who are about to start smoking, or some parents that may want to give their children a healthier environment.
Wow superb collection.. Amazing keep up
I have asthma, which I was told when I was diagnosed was most likely caused by passive smoking in a household where my parents collectively smoked 70 cigarettes a day for at least 10 of my first 15 years of life. I’ve never smoked, nor ever will.
Thank you for this campaign.
There’s no argument that smoking is harmful. But what about the millions of smokers who have tried unsuccessfully to quit smoking? Should they be doomed to an early death?
In a recent press release, Dr. Elizabeth Whelan (President of the American Council on Science and Health), exposed the FDA, calling their statement “distorted, incomplete and misleading” in reference to a press conference that the FDA held to scare Americans away from electronic cigarettes. Federal and state agencies collect 26 BILLION dollars per year on tobacco taxes, and ZERO on e-cigarettes.
Basically, the FDA is strongly advising us to “Stay away from these new electronic cigarettes. Stick to the good old (tax revenue producing) tobacco cigarettes. You know, the ones that cause nearly half a million deaths each year in the US alone”
The FDA has violated its own rules of presenting policies based upon sound science. In essence the FDA is telling us we don’t care whether Americans live or die. We want our tax revenues!
Tobacco cigarettes are deadly, not only due to the presence of toxins and carcinogens, but because smokers inhale huge amounts of smoke (products of combustion). The result? Millions of people die from heart disease, lung disease, cancer etc.
Smokers ‘need’ nicotine. By getting the nicotine without the smoke, e-cig users enjoy an enormous health benefit over tobacco smokers.
The FDA has approved other nicotine delivery systems (gums and patches) but they have been dismal failures, with a success rate of under 15%. So by only approving products that don’t work, the FDA has condemned millions of smokers to a lingering death. We desperately need other alternatives. Dr. Whelan commented, “Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States today. Any alternative acceptable to addicted smokers should be taken seriously. Instead of condemning the e-cigarette, the FDA should be sponsoring studies to evaluate its safety and efficacy, leaving it on the market in the interim.”
If you know someone who smokes, you can do them a big favour.

I know how hard it is to stop smoking this campaign is really good and some of the images are very hard hitting.
omg! i think everybody have to look this pictures
ty
bill hicks says worst kind of non smoker is you stupid assholes i am willing to die ten years before my time just so i be fuckn cool each fuckn day
nice day
wow u are an idiot. oh great, u get to look cool, and then die early. thats a really great trade. oh, and by the way. smoking doesnt make u look cool. u look like an idiot.
These adverts and the anti-smoking movement as a whole would be a lot better off if it didn’t lie to get their point across.
Smoking is bad as it is; it’s not necessary to make stuff up and in the long run it’s only going to discredit the movement.
For example, no study has determined that second hand smoke is dangerous (unless you’re in a locked room for hours with smoke), much less than it kills 53k people a year.
The one study that has shown a possible link was done by the American EPA in 1991 (or 1993 can’t remember for sure) and the authors made sure to mention that their results were inconclusive.
However, the anti-tobacco lobby has no problem lying to get their point across.
Nonsense. Read ALL of this:
http://www.bupa.co.uk/health_information/html/health_news/270503smoke.html
or indeed, the Wikipedia entry on passive smoking. It is a standard tobacco industry ploy to try to seed doubt, like your comment does, against all reliable scientific evidence.
Jen is right, my friend. Second-hand smoke does produce harmful effects.
fantastic collection!! really amazing creativity. Posted on my facebook fan page.
thanks for sharing
Scary and creative at the same time…But sincerely, I still won’t quit smoking, that’s a bad habit I will have to deal with my entire life.
The best way is not to smoke from the beginning, after you had your first smoke it’s difficult to come back to a “clean” life…
awesome !!!
These are really cool!
those photos does support your topic ..
thanks
hi dude. i will not smok again
every cigarette contains 4000 chemicals, and dozens of them are carcinogens. every time you smoke you are letting toxins like DDT, ammonia, arsenic, butane and many more.
Unless you smoke a brand like American Spirits, this is true. However, it is not currently confirmed by any study whether or not those chemicals make a cigarette more or less safe.
Cool designs… I love smoking though and won’t be stopping any time soon.
#1 #2 and #8 are great.. i like these very much.. anyway great collection.. anywayz am an occasional smoker..
hai semua salam kenal. aku yohanes,16, indonesian.
melihat dari 50 Most Creative Anti-Smoking Advertisements aku sangat terkagum melihat karya-karya yang sangat inspiratif dan fantastic, smoking=deadth, it all is cool.
Yukk Results, Amazing creativity
Brilliant work.
I have cared for smokers with lung cancer.
Without exception, this habit is not worth the price one pays with their health.

Wow. I “quit” today. At 46, I’ve smoked 11 of my 46 years. Fortunately, my body now responds immediately to its ill effects. This recent bout has lasted 1.5 yrs. Even 2 or 3 cigarettes in a day make me feel rotten now. It took me over a year to get to this point, though. It’s difficult to see the health effects when you are younger.
As a non-smokier, unless you’ve been addicted to something else, you have no idea how to make people quit smoking. It’s the only addiction I’ve had (except for, perhaps, sugar & processed foods), but I think I have an idea how any addict feels.
When I was younger, the only thing that made me think twice about it was an appeal to my vanity. Although a few were over the top, the before & after models were effective and, believe me, realistic. I was also struck by the teenage boy with a gun to his head. Many of them were very good.
Esther said this is wrong smoking is going to kill your lungs it’s not energy. I say all the people who smoke should f***en stop there going to die soon then other people why would you want to die early STOP SMOKING DAMINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D: >3 =( THE BIG QUESTION!! lOSING YOUR LIFE SOONER REALLY BUT WHY DO THAT?
Wow these are great! I thought I’d seen them all by now. Thank you for helping to spread the word out there. It’s nice to see people on our side.
smoking’s not just what you see or what you hear at all, and there’is too much exaggeration in these pics IMO. anyway, nice try…
Wow, a very nice collection.
I recognise the last twelve adverts in the series from a photoshoot done in an early series of “America’s Next Top Model”.
Scary – I’m glad I stopped smoking a couple of years ago ….
WOW there’s some really nice Ad’s.
i really liked the first, he’s the most beautiful one here.
Impressing collection. Time to quite smoking!

Wow… i like these
I like the last ones the best. One “it will give you wrinkles” ad is worth ten thousand “it will give you cancer” ones.
Amazing Collection…

Impresionante!! estoy de acuerdo con toda esa publicidad que tiene que sensibilizar a todos las consecuencias del consumo de esa droga blanda.
B E A T I F U L
Great ideas for delivering the message, extremely creative. Thanks a lot for the post.
I just hate smoking, love these ads very much, great job
Geat campaigns… As a non-smoker, I know how hard it is to convince smokers to quit. Logical arguments never work alone, that’s why this kind of campaign is strongly needed…
But sometimes… you just don’t get it… http://dyvantity.com/sensibilisation/association-against-tobacco-sexual-slave/ (comparing smokers to sexual slaves?!)
