The Don't Be Silent About Smoking campaign was originally launched in
February 2008 with ads appearing in medical journals and websites,
magazines and newspapers across New York State. The ads featured striking
images of healthcare providers with their mouths stitched or taped shut to
dramatize the importance of clinicians talking to their patients about
smoking.
The campaign was unusually successful in reaching and getting the attention
of busy doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Those who
had seen the ads were significantly more likely to ask patients about
tobacco use, assess readiness to quit, advise patients to quit, and provide
pharmacotherapy.
