EX(R) is a new public health campaign presented by the National
Alliance for Tobacco Cessation, a collaboration of the nation's leading
public health organizations and 14 states. The campaign will build smokers
confidence in quitting smoking and guide them to useful resources that
foster successful quit attempts. EX is the culmination of several years of
research and testing, combining an understanding of the power of nicotine
addiction with messages that resonate with and motivate smokers toward
behavior change. The EX approach is peer to peer and focuses on re-learning
life without cigarettes, targeting the activities that prompt smokers to
light up at the same times every day. The campaign, which began airing
nationwide on March 31, 2008 includes television, radio, online,
out-of-home advertising and a state-of-the-art, interactive Web site
