HEALTH WARNINGS

Adrian's story is hard hitting and compliments the Ministry of Health's roll-out of graphical pack warnings. Adrian's story is the first in a series of Health Warnings advertisements timed to coincide with the release of new graphical pack warnings.

VIDEO DIARIES

Video Diaries follows smokers as they make their quit attempt. These documentary style commercials feature real smokers and are unscripted.

Every series of Video Diaries is different because no quit attempt is ever the same. The raw emotions and struggle of quitting is evident with each quitter and the commercials also show the strategies each smoker uses to quit.

EVERY CIGARETTE IS DOING YOU DAMAGE

The TV campaign Every cigarette is doing you damage highlights the health effects of smoking and advertises the Quitline number. It is a ‘threat-appeal’ campaign, adapted from the National Australian Tobacco Campaign.

The seven commercials - lung, brain, aorta, tumour, lung/tar, heart attack and eye - pull no punches about the devastating effects smoking has on the body. There are images of fatty aortas, rotting lungs, tumours, blind eyes and a blood-clotted brain.

The heart attack ad features a Samoan smoker and is aimed at encouraging Pacific peoples to quit smoking.

IT’S ABOUT WHĀNAU

The It’s about whānau campaign features a number of Māori ex-smokers who represent diverse iwi, age groups and socio-economic backgrounds. They share their personal stories about quitting smoking, which highlight the effects of smoking on family.

The stories were gathered using an interviewing style and were unscripted. The commercials were developed and filmed in New Zealand by a Māori film company. The commercials are less confrontational than the Every cigarette commercials and deliver an empowering message aimed at increasing a smoker's confidence in being able to quit.
