Anti-smoking ads launched


A national anti-smoking advertising campaign with a straight-up message starts today.

Smokers will be warned that when they light up .. they inhale over four thousand chemicals and at least 43 of them cause cancer.

Health Minister Nicola Roxon says while smoking has declined in Australia the rate of daily smoking is still too high at nearly 17 per cent.

She says the National Tobacco Campaign will reach a broad age-range but will focus on young adults.
