Powerful Ads About Quitting Smoking

"Lung Disease" Television Ad Description

The ad shows a woman on a street corner, lighting a cigarette. The camera zooms in, showing the smoke entering her lungs. Then scene shifts to show sponge-like lungs, and damage to the air sacs from smoke. The scene returns to the woman on the street.


Voiceover:

Every cigarette is doing you damage.

Lungs are like sponges with millions of tiny air sacs for transferring oxygen. Every breath of tobacco smoke attacks them. No wonder smokers feel short of breath; their lungs are rotting.

Every cigarette is doing you damage, so the sooner you quit, the better you'll be.
