Having seen what Fiona Sharkie will condone with the mistreatment of this child does not leave much room for us to wonder just what she will do for money. She and the collaborators on this ad knew exactly what the reaction would be from this child. The tears were exactly what they wanted and they set this ad up to get that reaction of fear and pain in this child to make the add as effective as it is. Feona said, “it was jus for a minute”, well Fiona, how much emotional pain are you willing to suffer, just for a minute? And how many children are you willing to throw under the bus, for just a minute? I suppose that makes you a really good employee. It also makes you a really bad example of a compassionate human being.

An effective add ok but why didn’t the voice over encourage smokers to quit & remind them that some 70% of smokers quit successfully unassisted without calling any quit smoking help lines or without using nicotine replacement products. Instead it seems that the Quitline is more interested in getting smokers to call them than actually quitting.
But understandable as that is how they gain their funding by measuring how many calls they get not how many smokers quit.
I believe that it is time to change this tactic & for Quit to come clean to smokers & tell them the complete facts on quitting smoking. An interesting Uni of Sydney Paper on the Neglect of Unassisted Cessation:
