"Quit smoking. It kills!" This is just one of the popular anti-smoking slogans that almost each one of us must have heard of. Slogans have been an effective part of almost every campaign. Here are a few interesting and catchy slogans that have been used to encourage people to kick the butt.
Did You Know?
With every single cigarette that you smoke, you lose an estimated eleven minutes of your life!
Slogans make the use of normal words and phrases that are woven in interesting ways to make catchy sentences that bear a message. These messages can be simple and may be aimed at attracting consumers toward goods. The messages could also be of a serious nature that might be concerned with the environment, or some disease. We all know that smoking kills. Smoking destroys both your health and looks. It is one of the main causes of cardiovascular diseases, respiratory disorders, and it can eventually result in various types of cancer.
Studies show that smokers are more likely to have a heart attack (chances are almost double!) than people who have never smoked. Anti-smoking slogans help emphasize the importance of health. Catchy slogans make people aware of the need to quit smoking due to its life-threatening effects on health. Smoking is harmful for not just the smoker, but also for those around, who are known as victims of passive smoking. In the United States itself, 23.5% men and 18.1% women smoke. While that’s almost half the population, the other half is up against smoking. From anti-smoking campaigns to slogans, these people are taking every measure possible to make the world tobacco-free.
