Stop Smoking at Chinese New Year, it’s as good a time as any!
This is the biggest day in the year for Chinese. They drive the old year out with cymbals and fireworks. The old year includes the last year of tobacco ads so you can drive out the ads with a bang.
This will be year of the Dog.
Run a stop smoking stall at any Chinese New Year event or parade.
Chinese have high smoking rates.
Find a local Chinese smoker who wants to quit.
Look at the research done by Prof. Richard Peto about the smoking rates in China and predicted death rates in China. Or use the animal to create publicity messages such as ‘Don’t be a dog – don’t smoke’ or ‘Smoking wrinkles your skin – you’ll be an old hound when you should be a young puppy!’ or ‘Passive Smoking is Ruff Ruff for you and me.’ Celebrations end with the lantern festival. People hang coloured lanterns. The lanterns could carry stop smoking messages
