Watch: CDC launches anti-smoking campaign

Government health officials launched the second half of a graphic anti-smoking campaign Thursday, releasing a slew of TV, radio, print and billboard ads.

In all, the campaign has cost the Centers for Disease Control a whopping $48 million which is slightly less than last year's $54 million anti-smoking crusade, according to The Associated Press.

CDC officials say the 2012 campaign ultimately increased calls by nearly 200,000 to hotlines helping smokers quit.
