HI

Hope you don't mind me resserecting this topic.
In the UK the campaigns about the links with smoking and cancer are heavy and shocking.
On all the cigarrette packets in big black bold letters you get messages like 'Smoking will kill you' 'Smoking gives you cancer' and on top of that the adverts on the tv showing real lung cancer victims not being able to breathe properly etc, are horrifying. There was an advert where a bunch of smokers were sitting around a table puffing away and real fat from a lung of a smoker was shown oozing out their cigarrettes. These adverts are on the television all the time and are hard hitting. There is nothing nice about them they are to the point. Its also in magazines, on billboards and still people in the UK smoke! Nearly everyone you see is smoking. Lung cancer is the biggest disease related threat to young women in the UK at the moment and still people smoke. Its unbelievable.
Smoking is a drug so incredibly adictive and so difficult to break the habit but you would think with these very frank hard hitting campaigns, people would think twice before lighting up a cigarrette.
