From the above comments, it seems like the campaign is pretty effective. I do agree that the government should not hide the ugly images from the public, just because it may frighten some people. Facts are facts, potential smokers (unfortunately they are the younger generation) need to be frightened.
However, I do wonder if those campaign pictures used are real or not. I personally feel that it would be quite a sensitive issue for a sufferer to be approached and asked to be photographed and publicized. I have my doubts about the sources of these pictures, and actually did hear that they are not real. Hmm.. I wonder how true is it..?

I trully agreed with tinkerbell's comments. It is about time that the Government protrayed the effects of smoking on a national scale. No point having these images printed on cigarette boxes when the main target are the potential ones that decide to pick up this habit from a young age. As far as the smokers are concerned, they are used to such images and don't even bother to look at them each time they buy a new pack.
As the age group of smokers are getting younger from survey done recently, we have to act fast unless we want the next generation to live a life of misery. If the advertisement is scary and have a huge impact, then I am one of them that will strongly support the move to advertise it regularly as a constant reminder to both young and old smokers or non-smokers.

Contary to what some comments raised by the public, i think the Quit Smoking campaign will probably make some difference to people, especially to teenagers.
Yes, though the advertisements are disgusting and unbearable to sight, it's actually some facts that could happen if you smoke. It may not scare smokers out of their habits, but it does bring some reflections to some others who are more conscious about their health. And for non smokers and teenagers, it may have caused some of them to actually stop and think, and reflect before succumbing to temptations.
In my case, seeing the advertisements actually made me stop and think, "hey..i wouldn't want to look like that, and neither would i want my body to be as ugly as that".
Smoking is a habit that is difficult to quit for smokers, and..if having this campaign makes people aware and disgusted, it is actually considered a minor success isn't it? The ads may not stop smokers from breaking out of their habits, but..it may saved some people from picking up the habit.
