Bubble Wrap Anti-Smoking Ad

The New York City Department of Health has launched a new anti-smoking advert. The ad uses "bubble wrap" to show how cigarettes destroy lung-function and comes as the department announces it enrolled more than 40,000 potential-quitters this year. That's nearly 1.5-times more than last year.

The latest nicotine patch and gum giveaway ended in March, and the DOH says it signed up some 2,500 New Yorkers a day, making it its most successful nicotine patch and gum giveaway ever. Since the program began in 2003, the agency says it has served more than 200,000 smokers, and helped an estimated 70,000 stop for good.

Park Inn Competition

Here at smokingadverts.com we love a good competition and we found this Play 4 Park Inn competition to win some great prizes such as an Apple iPad and £250 voucher for Park Inn Hotels. But it's no ordinary competition by any means!  Tied in with a fun online game of “4 in a row”, you log in an entry to the competition every time you play – win or lose.

Instead of smoking at lunchtime or coffee break, give this competition a go! Try and beat the hotel manager at his own game and be in with a chance of winning some really nice prizes.

The prizes 2 winners weekly receive of an iPad and a £250 voucher (respectively) for Park Inn Hotels, which can be used at over 200 hotels in 16 countries (also valid in Radisson Blu and Hotel Missoni, and includes the UK), and can be used at the restaurant, bar, or simply on your room. Each participant will also be entered into a final draw for one week's stay at either:

• 
  Park Inn Manchester
• 
  Park Inn Berlin
• 
  Park Inn Ulysse Resort (in Djerba, Tunisia) 

Along with this, the winner gets a £300 gift card. Entrants must be at least 18 years of age.

The Game You know the classic game Connect 4! Well it's the same principle and you have to try and beat the hotel manager. It's really simple to play yet we found it quite tough to beat the manager. See if you do fair any better. But even if you lose, you can still enter the draw so it's a win-win situation.

Our Favourite Holiday Our favourite holiday has to be our honeymoon where we spent 7 days in Whistler snowboarding and then 7 days surfing in Oahu, Hawaii with a city break in Vancouver. When in Vancouver we stayed at Park Inn Vancouver and loved our stay there. Sponsored Post Share hosted by Wikio

Shark Attack Smoking Ad

Check out this new Nicorette anti smoking ad featuring a shark attack!

The advert is for the new Nicorette mini Lozenge which dissolves up to 3 times faster than other stop smoking lozenges.

We think it's one of their best anti smoking ads to date! See what you think...



What worked for us is that all previous Nicorette adverts made quitting smoking such formal, life changing, and somewhat stressful undertaking. This advertisement essentially turned that process into something casual and humorous. The ad company behind this got the marketing right...they're changing perception. Overall, a huge thumbs up for this marketing piece from us.
