NHS smoking Advert - Too much imagery?

[kk.]

I saw this advert for the NHS campaign to try and stop people smoking and to me it is horrible. But, it could get the point across very easily.

I am not going to post the picture as it is actually disgusting but here is the link if you would like to take part.

I can see what your saying. I dont really mind it but what if a kid, say like 8, saw it what would he/she think. Also, the image they used doesnt really say anything about smoking unlike the old adverts like where they had a tube that was blocked with junk from smoking.

[clarissa !!]

that picture was in my magazine & bloody hell did it make me feel ill.

what i meant by sorry was that if he does smoke i used him as an example cus it made him feel sick?!

Well the whole point of it is to scare people into quitting, and to scare people into not starting! I think it works well, and isn't to vulgar as its trying to get across a serious message.
