What do you want to say about tobacco? We want to start a conversation. We want to hear from you.

Send us a video no more than a minute in length. Do it yourself or team up with a friend.

Have you ever come up with a great idea for an anti-smoking commercial? Here’s your chance to share it. Or do you prefer to express your ideas through music, acting or dance?
 

Be creative.

The sky is the limit. We’re looking for original, creative, quality videos with a strong message. What’s yours?

Some ideas to get you started:
