It was intended to shock the audience, it succeeded, it is such a success that a flood of complaints has gushed through, until they had to reschedule the timing of the advertisement- till after 8pm where there are less children will be watching the TV.
A housewife commented about how much it turns her whole family off, and it even gave her daughter nightmares!
However, the toll free stop smoking hotline has increased substantially- five fold after the ad has been released. There are many that praised the ad and said it is positive but neverttheless, such ads are still situated away from schools and childcare centres to reduce potential trauma hazards.
Actually i was quite disgusted at the ugly lady with "diseased tongue, decaying teeth and chapped lips riddled with sores" as well. I was thinking, smokers are addicted to smoking, they know the hazards, the harm but they just cant stop due to addiction, i think, this ads focuses more on DETERRING potential smoking losers-to-be than aiding in the eradication of this addiction, but well, the callers that are calling to ask about smoking and how to quit smoking has increased, so i guess it's a positive externality after all.
