Key message

Dying from smoking is rarely quick and never painless.

As a smoker, you can cause a huge burden to your family and loved ones when you get sick.

summary

Focus groups with smokers suggest that they are more motivated by depictions of severe suffering from smoking-related illnesses than from the risk of dying.

This is one of the two campaign’s PSAs (the other is “Stroke” ) focusing on a victim who is suffering from emphysema, a smoking-related illness that can alter lives forever and require family members to provide intensive, constant care and support.
