Now that it's been mentioned in this thread, I too have noticed they are running a similar set of TV commercials here in Canada recently too! It's not the same lady but a very similar woman that's talking about how her experience has affected her entire family. There's another one with a guy in it but here, it wouldn't be CDC based ads but Health Canada I think - same idea.
As we all know though, those ads don't seem to have any immediate effect on convincing people to quit. Maybe they play them hoping for a subliminal effect later on when the people think about quitting on their own?
