A clever campaign but doomed to failure

Content isn't just video! It's the easiest way to share with you on this blog and the majority of what I write about has got a video element to it but i was struck by this campaign released today by the Iris agency. Firstly let me say...its very clever... very original and will probably win awards - i like it.  


The problem I have is with the whole concept of anti smoking campaigns - they don't work - FULL STOP. Show me the figures please?


I am generally disgusted by the way that the government pretends to assist in the cessation of this appalling life shortening habit while raking in the taxes - think about it - there is no upside to banning smoking for the economy in fact quite the opposite - it would be a disaster if everyone stopped.  


No-one gives up smoking because of advertising however clever or because of those ridiculous inhalers, gum, patches etc. they give up in spite of them.
