Smoking cigarettes has been a widely discussed health issue for ages, and despite constant reminders of its impending dangers, people still continue to smoke, but these clever anti-smoking ads are aiming to showcase just how dangerous tobacco is to the smoker and those around them.
Since printing images of damaged organs on cigarette boxes doesn't seem to be doing the trick, PSAs and ad campaigns are attempting to target smokers through clever advertisement and emotional imagery. These campaigns feature such things as the physical aging affects of smoking as well as how cigarettes severely impact children around you through second-hand smoking.
These thought-provoking ad campaigns are aiming to target smokers emotionally, and unveil the reality behind what smoking can do to you both physically and to those around you.
