From The Courier Mail:
ANTI-smoking group Quit has launched a new television campaign so explicit that it's been banned from Australian screens in peak viewing times.
The shocking television campaign highlights how smoking can lead to a stroke, by featuring a surgical procedure that clears out blockages in the neck artery.
The ad has been given an M rating, making it the first quit smoking message in Australia to be banned at specific times because of its confronting nature.
