CDC unveils graphic ads to combat smoking
Federal health officials are unveiling Thursday a $54 million national media campaign to get smokers to quit and prevent anyone else, especially children, from starting.
The campaign, called "Tips From Former Smokers," is intended to educate Americans about the dangers of smoking through the stories and graphic pictures of ex-smokers who have suffered severe health consequences of tobacco use.
The former smokers profiled have suffered ailments like stroke-related paralysis, limb amputation, lung removal and heart attack. One breathes through a stoma, a surgically created hole in the neck through which a person who has undergone larynx or voice box surgery can breathe.

Aye, 'tis a fine crop of trolls today.
Irish Spring?
I can't believe you would fall for this, BOMBO.
JIF wouldn't misspell 'roam'.
Playtroll?
I was offered a case of Sleemans cream ale to pose partially nude for Sweep! magazine. I told them bite me, I'll buy my own Sleemans and keep my pride.
Funny stuff..call me we'll have a coke and a smile
Not me above...
First i want to say cigarettes are the most addicting drugs in the world and the hardest to kick! Most ppl who smoke would like to quit! I know, i smoke. 2nd the government needs to focus on jobs! Not what kinda light bulb i use, or whether i smoke!!
I dont smoke in public or around non smokers, but what i do in my house is my freakin business as long as im not breaking any laws. I pay for my own! They need to get their nosy, in everyones personal business butts back to the job they are paid to do!
And @ jj, WORD! They should slap a big tax on fast food agreed! Course you do know all these things would cause unemployment to skyrocket again.
Try again troll.
Remember, if you smoke after intercourse – you're probably not doing it right.
Cnn is doing a p i s s poor job with the trolls today.
What a joke. Yeah you can't smoke at any bar or anywhere, but oh wait, the casinos are exempt from that law. Its all about money as usual. Sorry a*s Michigan has more to worry about than smoking (ie. Detroit).
@Mmmmmm
They already have been doing that for years, in Europe. It doesn't work.
I love it when stupid people hate me.
