Public Service Announcement

[Peaches McPhee]

Easily the anti-smoking ads, with the people suffering from lung cancer. Those ads are dreadful. If that doesn't make you quit smoking, I don't know what would.

The one about the young woman who is texting while driving and goes through a stop sign.

I think the one yul Brynner made a long time ago played after his death:

lolak..............what in the world is YOUR question?

PSA has to do with (in my medical world) prostate!

Apparently, everyone is thinking that the other person either reads minds, is a self made medical professional or all of a sudden knows the reasons-whys, and policies of aviation.

If, so, then state your credentials.

Do you want ng/mL serum levels, age associated with that age group for men?

I agree, the anti-smoking commercials and print ads are some of the most powerful and shocking. I still remember the one of the lady that smoked all her life, and she removes her wig, her teeth, unwraps her scarf to reveal her stoma in her neck, and tells people to record their voice for their loved ones while they still have it. Over 2.2 million people died in the last 5 years in the US from tobacco and smoking related diseases. You couldn't pay me enough to smoke.

Oh good grief, no need to be so rude to the OP. Everyone else understood that PSA meant Public Service Announcement and not prostate PSA levels.

ITA! That was eerie how it was broadcasted after his death.

Another effective recent Anti-Smoking PSA ads are the ones with Terrie Hall. There were only 4-5 spots, but it sloooowly showed her getting worse...until the last one where she was in a hospital bed & an ending still frame announcing her death.
