In an apparent first, we have an anti-smoking campaign that speaks to an audience that doesn’t live on the left or right coast and have “whiny little brat” tattooed to their upper middle class, teenage forehead. Set in somewhere in middle America, this “don’t smoke while pregnant” commercial comes from American Legacy and Ad Council and was created by Austin’s GSD&M. It very simply illustrates a thought that goes through a young, pregnant mother’s head and the resolves she makes to change her lifestyle for the betterment of her baby.
The campaign, which includes print, is tied to a website called Great Start where tips and help are offered for those interested in quitting.
