16 Cancers

‘16 Cancers’ is Make Smoking History’s brand new, hard-hitting campaign which highlights both the common and lesser known cancers that can be caused by smoking and emphasises the immediate and long-term consequences these cancers can have on a person’s life.

The campaign includes powerful WA-made television advertising depicting the shocking effects of smoking-related cancers and their capacity to take away life’s simple pleasures, such as speaking and eating. The advertisements are emotional and graphic to illustrate that cancer from smoking can have a devastating and debilitating impact on smokers’ lives.

Advertising will also appear across press, radio, outdoor, online and social media, l highlighting all 16 cancers which can be caused by smoking.

All advertisements finish with the line ‘There are 16 different types of cancer caused by smoking... and you have one clear way to reduce your risk’.
