The European Union launched a new, €72 million EU anti-smoking campaign on 1 March 2005. The campaign was aimed at young people, non-smokers and those wanting to quit, offering them help to lead a life without tobacco. The European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, Markos Kyprianou, kicked off the campaign at the Rond-Point Schuman outside the European Commission's Berlaymont headquarters in Brussels by unveiling the campaign slogan 'HELP: For a Life Without Tobacco' on a giant inflatable structure which was to tour all 25 EU capitals. The new campaign had been devised for the European Commission by a consortium of health experts and PR professionals (see MEMO/05/68 for details). The roadshow was to be followed by a 'HELP' TV and cinema advertising campaign over the summer of 2005. |
