The Critics’ Choice: Which Anti-smoking Ad is your favourite?
The Critics’ Choice is an initiative coordinated annually by the Australian Network on Young People and Tobacco (ANYPAT) as part of a strategy to reduce the prevalence of tobacco smoking amongst young people.
Critics’ Choice is a free online smoking prevention resource for upper primary and lower secondary schools. Students are invited to watch a selection of anti-smoking advertisements from around the world and vote for their favourite – the one most likely to prevent them from taking up smoking or encouraging them to quit.
One of the ads in 2017 was ‘Ted’s Story’ by the Commonweath Government
