Apparently, the Australian government is committed to helping people quit smoking. Their TV ads and cigarette pack warnings are much more dramatic than in the US. Their ads stand out, are memorable and will probably have a real impact on viewers.

The message is clear….smoking is definately not cool and does serious damage.

Guess they realized a long time ago that small written warning labels on cigarette packs does little to deter people from lighting up. Let’s face it, when I was a smoker, I barely noticed the warning labels. You don’t notice them unless you are looking for them and the warning is very mild.

So what is the Australian answer to effectively deter smoking? How about disgusting graphic pictures of diseased body parts on cigarette packs and in other advertising. These pictures are large, very noticeable, and graphic. I guarantee you have not seen pictures like these before.

Wish I saw these pictures when I was a teenager, I never would have started smoking.

Australian Warning Labels

If you are tempted to light up or still not sure if you are ready to quit smoking, you may want to view the warning labels. Definately unique and worth viewing.

If you are a parent, share these with your children. More effective than a mere pep talk.

To Your Health,
