High tar

A woman and a young girl look at one of ten ‘Tarmy’ figures in central Sydney yesterday from an awareness campaign about the effect smoking and tar accumulation has on the lungs and to mark the four year anniversary of smoking being banned in enclosed public spaces in New South Wales and Victoria. Each of the ten figures represents a different smoker profile from the social smoker to the heavy pack-a-day smoker, with new research commissioned by Pfizer Australia showing that Australian smokers have little understanding of the impact of tar on their lungs.
