[Cancer Research UK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-stop-and-young-lives-vs-cancer) is now offering [free breathing tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathwork-coach) via bus shelter posters rather than through a health clinic.

The new, [interactive posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scratchandsniff-ooh-campaign) feature a small hole that can be blown into to reveal a message just below. The longer a person is able to blow, the more of the message they'll be able to see. It includes text like: "If you are a smoker you might not get much further than this line," and advises that those who are short of breath get help from a Stop Smoking advisor.

Just last month, Cancer Research UK launched its Smart Benches on the streets as a means of providing a place for people to sit, connect to Wi-Fi, charge a mobile device and potentially even make a donation.
