CDC: Tips From Former Smokers - Terrie H.: Don’t Smoke Ad

Smoking gave Terrie cancer at age 40. In this TV commercial for CDC's Tips From Former Smokers ® ( Tips ® ) campaign, she speaks from a hospital bed. In the unique, raspy voice she developed after losing her larynx to cancer, she shares a simple message: "Don't smoke. And if you do smoke, quit. Keep trying until you succeed." Terrie died at age 53, shortly after filming this ad. Comments on this video are allowed in accordance with our comment policy: http://www.cdc.gov/SocialMedia/Tools/...
