The Ministry of Health and Welfare said it will air its second anti-smoking advertisement starting from Wednesday.
 
The new advertisement shows a young adult who wants to buy cigarettes asking the store owner for "one milligram of throat cancer" or asking for one lung cancer and two strokes. In the footage, an alter ego of the young adult trapped inside the pack of cigarettes pleads with him not to buy them.
 
The ministry said it designed the ad to inform the public that cigarettes eventually become diseases and to point out that people buy the diseases without thinking.
 
The ministry added that it will boost anti-smoking campaigns when considering that many people make plans to quit smoking at the end of the year.
