Public Service Announcements

World No Tobacco Day 2002

 Tobacco Free Sports The Office of Public Information of the Pan American Health Organization has produced a series of Public Service Announcements (PSAs) in honor of World No Tobacco Day 2002. World No Tobacco Day is celebrated annually on May 31st.

You can watch the PSAs using the free Real Player, and if you're a broadcaster, you can obtain a copy in tape. These messages don't mention any specific date, so they can be used throughout the year.

 Racing Car "TOBACCO FREE SPORTS" - This PSA enlightens the public on the concept that sports and tobacco should NOT fit together, as is communicated through advertisements and sponsorships.
