Jeremy
London
(Party
of
Five,
I'll
Fly
Away)
and
his

Jason,
volunteered
to
appear
in
two
new
30-second
TV
counter-advertisements
now
available
from
the
Office
on
Smoking
&
Health.
Jeremy
wrote
and

both
spots:
"Suffering"
and

30
second
TV
spots
"Suffering"
or
"Anniversary"
for
viewing.
You
will
need
RealPlayer
®
to
view
these
videos.
The
spots
were
filmed
in
black
&
white,
letterbox
style
(a
technique
using
enclosed
borders
to
give
focus
to
the
content)
on
location
in
Oklahoma
City,
and
include
London
family
members
throughout.
"Suffering"
and
"Anniversary"
focus
on
the
pain
that
losing
someone
from
tobacco
can
cause
to
those
left
behind.
The
tagline
reads:
"Tobacco,
It's
Killing
the
Ones
You
Love." The
spots
were
presented
to
focus
groups
of
smokers
during
the
concept
development
stage,
and
the
final
scripts
and
treatments
incorporate
revisions
that
were
suggested.
