Quitters exchange cigarettes for charms.


'Feeling Good', a unique public health campaign in Queensland, is encouraging young women to wear custom-made 'dog tags' to show their commitment to quitting smoking. The aluminium tags are designed by Brisbane jeweller Kylie Gartside, herself a reformed smoker. The jewellery initiative is designed to reduce the number of young female smokers, who smoke in higher numbers than their male counterparts, by highlighting 'the positive image of a smoke-free life'. 'Feeling Good' is an initiative of a range of bodies including Queensland Health and the New World Order Consortium. Profits from the sale of the dog tags will be donated to youth charity Youngcare (Courier Mail, 25/5/06, p.42).
