"Artery" Television Ad Description
The ad shows a man in a kitchen, lighting a cigarette with the stove. The camera zooms in, showing the smoke entering his body. The scene shifts to a gloved hand holding a section of aorta. The hand squeezes white fatty deposits out of the pink aorta. The scene returns to the man in the kitchen.
Voiceover:
Every cigarette is doing you damage.
This is part of an aorta, the main artery from the heart.
Smoking makes artery walls sticky and collect dangerous fatty deposits. This much was found stuck to the aortal wall of a smoker, age 32.
Every cigarette is doing you damage, so the sooner you quit, the better you'll be.
