    1) The Tak Nak campaign was launched by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia to reduce smoking through public awareness campaigns using catchy slogans and graphic health warnings. 2) The campaign aims to educate youth and the public about the health risks of smoking and secondhand smoke through aggressive advertising and informing campaigns using media and infomercials. 3) While the campaign has been effective in raising awareness and encouraging some people to quit smoking, it could be more effective if other community leaders and role models also avoided smoking and promoted an anti-smoking message.

    Tak Nak Campaign

    A very good morning to our dear Principal, Mr. Khairuddin Abdul Rauf, teachers and students. I am going
    to be speaking to you today about Tak Nak Campaign. Tak Nak campaign is a campaign to reduce
    smokers smoking.

    Lately, our former Prime Minister, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi commenced an anti-smoking campaign
    called ’’Tak Nak’’. You can now see this short and rhyming catch phrase ‘’Tak Nak’’ everywhere-
    billboards, posters TV ads, and sometimes I even hear it on radio. Though peoples have disapproved of
    him for setting aside a flabbergast sum of RM100 million over 6 years for the campaign, it is nothing
    weigh up to the massive amount that tobacco companies spend to encourage smoking.

    During this combat against smoking, money beyond doubt talks; it is required for the Tak Nak Campaign
    to regularly remind us of the risk of smoking because about 50 Malaysian juvenile light up for the first
    time every day. In fact, some of these youth progression steadily from this to regular use, with addiction
    raking hold within a few years. And this is despite the warning on every pack of cigarettes that states
    explicit” Smoking is dangerous to your health “.
    exlicitly
    What can Tak Nak Campaign do to combat this? Their aggressive advertising creates media awareness
    among the public, especially amount the voguish young crowd, that smokers have yellowed teeth and
    suffer from shortness of breath and tells them that is not cool to smoke. It is also not in control of them
    of them to affect non-smokers with second-hand smoke.

    Also, there is a succession of infomercials on TV and in papers showing the debating effects of tobacco
    addiction on the body and ghastly statics of smoke related deaths. We are now familiar with the graphic
    pictures of damaged lungs on billboards which should frighten people into not smoking. This work as I
    know some of my friends are quitting now, or trying to reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke per
    week.

    Nonetheless, I feel any anti-smoking campaign is more effective if other people and society are actively
    involved too. Yes, the first step has been taken by top, but sad to say, many of our political leader smoke
    themselves. Nearer to home, so do some of our parents and teachers.

    These mature people have to be good example by not smoking themselves. If they do smoke, they
    should tell their children and students that they regret they ever started and take steps to quit as soon
    as possible. They must follow what they speak.

    On a more positive note, I commend the Malaysian Amateur Athletic Union for its zero tolerance of
    smoking because they know that smoking and health don’t mix. Sportsmen can’t excel if they cannot
    stop smoking.

    Dear teachers and students, thank you for your attention. In conclusion, I would like to stress that
    smoking is a bad habit, so Chant Tak Nak, if you have started smoking, quit immediately. If you haven't
    started smoking, say No, you are not only damaging your health, but you are also burning money.
