Christy's Award Winning TV Spot

Through this award winning television commercial and poster campaign, cover model/enterpreneur Christy Turlington has become active in the campaign to educate teens about addiction to tobacco products. In a compelling 30-second commercial, Christy shares the story of losing her father to lung cancer, talks about the addictive nature of nicotine, and describes her own personal battle to quit smoking. Christy has donated her time as a spokesperson for the CDC since early spring 1998, and plans to continue to be a spokesperson for this effort.

If you're interested in obtaining a VHS copy of Christy's anti-smoking TV spot, please call (770) 488-5705, press 2 to speak with a publication specialist.
