The War of Words
Down Under
BUGA UP is the provocative name of an organisation in Australia that is devoted to defacing adverts, organising street happenings and infuriating the tobacco companies. They're not anti-smoker, just anti-cigarette sponsorship and ads. If 'we oppose drug pushing,' they argue that 'we should oppose cigarette promotion' too. Australia is producing a movement of angry men and women, led by doctors, prepared to break the law.
Their fight is winning much support. Their aim is to ban all cigarette promotion.
Tonight Q.E.D. describes the maverick campaign.
