In the past few years, the government has turned to shock tactics to fight the battle against smoking and the burden smokers pose to the country's economy$-$manifested in sick days and health issues. The latest antismoking campaign showed tumors growing from a cigarette. Needless to say, this advert was contentious. On the one hand, the advert has become a viral sensation since its launch and has attracted plenty of attention to the subject. The government estimates approximately $300,000$ people will attempt to quit smoking because of the campaign.

On the other hand, some argue that using a hard$-$hitting approach is not best because people become terrified. If someone thinks they might have cancer or a symptom of cancer, they're likely to push it out of their mind. Health experts claim the new campaign is ineffective in targeting all smokers and recommend using it alongside other measures.

The anti$-$smoking ad is funded by the Department of Health.
