Programme 5
Dog End 

Synopsis:
The Quit series
of five programmes has been designed to raise awareness of a range of
issues surrounding cigarette smoking and legal controls on the use of
tobacco. Using personal testimonies, the audience is introduced to the
impact smoking has on peoples health and lifestyle. Smokers and
non-smokers alike discuss how addiction to cigarettes has influenced
their lives or those of their families. The series also focuses on how
tobacco companies use marketing and advertising techniques to influence
peoples smoking behaviour.
Programme 4: A Breath of Fresh Air
Using interviews with representatives from the tobacco industry, this
programme outlines marketing techniques used to sell cigarettes to consumers.
It highlights the fact that tobacco companies aggressively market to teenagers
in the hope of recruiting them as smokers, in order to create a new market
to replace existing smokers who are dying of smoking-related diseases.
