I never really assumed anti-smoking ads were all that effective. Then I heard a startling statistic. In 2008 anti-smoking campaigns were cut in half because of lack of funding due to the recession. In that time period smoking levels actually increased, for the first time in eight years! After hearing that I now realize their effectiveness and will promote them anyway I can, especially campaigns like this Smoking kills Campaign.
Created by Syed M Bilal, the Smoking Kills Campaign illustrates that death is always looming over you when you go to light up. I especially like the caption "Tiil Death Do Us Apart".
