Stop Smoking Campaign
Question:
What is this new stop smoking campaign all about?

Answer:
The New Stop Smoking Campaign Highlights Damage To Sex Appeal The ads, which launch on national TV, radio, press and poster sites demonstrate for the first time the impact smoking has on attractiveness, both sexual and cosmetic. Separate adverts target young adults. The first, aimed at men, shows the impact of smoking on impotence and erectile dysfunction and uses a burning cigarette end between two 'fingerlegs' as a metaphor for a penis. It's key message is: 'Does smoking make you hard? Not if it means you can't get it up'. The second strand targets women with stark images of the effect of smoking on their appearance and attractiveness to men, with messages such as 'If you smoke, you stink', and a focus on 'minging teeth' and 'cat's bum mouth'. We know 70% of smokers want to stop smoking, however, with younger people, fears about attractiveness and fertility can be a stronger motivation to quit than fears about health.
