30 Powerful Anti-Smoking Ads That Show Us Its Terrible Effects

We all know that smoking can be lethal – not only for smokers but for those around them. Unfortunately, convincing people to quit the habit can be really difficult.

In a report shared by the World Health Organization (WHO) on their website, we learn that tobacco actually “kills up to half of its users.” They also pointed out that about 6 million people die each year because of smoking.

“More than 5 million of those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use,” the organization added “while more than 600 000 are the result of non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke.”

Yes, the statistics are that staggering!

Fortunately, WHO isn’t alone in helping spread the warning against smoking. As you will see in the ads below, various groups are doing their part to convince smokers to drop the stick.
