Describe the most memorable anti-smoking or anti-drug ad that you have ever seen or heard. What made that ad so

powerful and memorable?

In CDC's (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) anti-smoking ad, Terrie, a former smoker, talks about how she gets ready for the day. The effects of throat cancer treatments on her body are obvious - she has lost her teeth and hair. Terrie needs to wear a wig everyday, and a scarf to cover a hole in her neck that is a consequence of a laryngectomy. This ad is powerful as it directly warns people about the effects of smoking. People normally do not think about the consequences, especially when it comes to long-term smoking. This ad raises people's awareness about the danger the cigarettes represent.
