CDC Tips From Former Smokers -- Terrie's Ad: Don't Smoke

Smoking gave Terrie cancer at age 40. In this TV commercial for CDC's Tips From Former Smokers campaign, she speaks from a hospital bed. In the unique, raspy voice she developed after losing her larynx to cancer, she shares a simple message: "Don't smoke. And if you do smoke, quit. Keep trying until you succeed." Terrie died at age 53, shortly after filming this ad.
