Brazilian Smoking Advert Pictures

The Health Minister in Brazil, José Gomes Temporão launched a new anti-smoking campaign this year. The following pictures are part of the Brazilian Health Department’s new anti-smoking drive that show the health risk involved with tobacco use. Images include a family at the bedside of a gravely sick man and a man suffering from impotence.











According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), in Brazil 17.2% of 13 to 15 year olds and 16.2% of adults smoke.

WHO says about 9% of boys and 10% of girls aged 12 to 17 smoked cigarettes. The organisation estimates there are more than one billion smokers worldwide.

It says tobacco use kills 5.4 million people a year - an average of one person every six seconds - and accounts for one in 10 adult deaths worldwide.
