An announcement on a Peruvian magazine about kids that are smoking let by the indifference of their parents.
El sufre de tabaquismo, su papa de indiferencia.
The slogan translated for this is: “He is suffering of smoking addiction, his father of indifference.” You can not tell from this image is the kid is smoking or some one put him to smoke that cigar.
Few of smoking people are aware that children are passive smokers or second hand smokers when they are among us. And we all know that “Children See. Children Do”. Many of them will start smoking because they see their parents smoking.
I suspect you’ll like the special website for kids designed by Argentina’s Health Ministry, which includes a great opening flash video with a cigarette burning while a bell tolls the deaths…http://www.libresdetabaco.gov.ar/
Also, they have a great video ad bringing home the impact of passive smoking at home on children — shows a cradle and talks about how great the baby’s life would be IF the parents didn’t smoke. http://www.msal.gov.ar/htm/site_tabaco/campanias/tv/Antitabaco_CUNITA.mpg
Also, they have developed a great colorful “smoke-free home” sticker for kids to put on their homes if they convince their parents to stop smoking at home — you can see it at my recent blog post on Argentina’s program.
