In todays society Media can be said as one of the most useful ways to gather information. The impact media has had over the last 50 years upon health promotion is staggering. Particularly in Australia where many bad health choices have impacted the everyday life of an Australian. For example, smoking, smoking in Australia is said to be a normality among both genders aged from anywhere as young as 12. It has definetely become a serious problem for the government and how the rest of the world see Australia. The government realise the issues upon smoking and devise a plan to get people to stop smoking, especially the young teenagers. The government then go to an advertising company to come up with an genius advertisement aimed to fill the governments wishes.

Smoking Over the past couple of years smoking has become one of the leading causes of cancers and even deaths among both genders of the Australian population. Many researchers have used the annual cancer tolls to discover that 4 in 5 cases of lung cancer are caused by smoking.

Prevention v.s. Cure Ever since the horrible discovery of cancer the question has been tossed up a bunch of times, which is better, Prevention or cure? Now both prevention and cure make great cases, however cure wouldnt exist if people just applied good everyday health choices to their lives. Like you reading this now is a good decision, taking the time to read about all the important things you need to know about smoking, cancer and smoking prevention. Many advertisments we see on television both promote the prevention of a serious health issue and promote donating to various charities, hospitals and companies as well. For example there is Telethon, The Cancer Council, and even McDonalds over the years have help promote the donations for finding cures to all the different types of cancers. Now the thing to realise between prevention and cure is that only 30% of all cancers that exist can be prevented
