PIATT STAFF WRITER MARLBORO TOWNSHIP Pupils at the Marlboro Middle School had a message for cigarette companies yesterday: This Marlboro country's a smoke-free zone. The 150 pupils were the first to lay eyes on a new advertising campaign designed by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services. The slogan "Smoking.

Don't Get Sucked In" targets young people who may be tempted to smoke. "Tobacco companies have proved that there is no limit to how low they will go in trying to get new customers," Commissioner Len Fishman said. "They lie. We're trying to get the message out that smoking kills." Fishman said he unveiled the campaign at the middle school because of the social pressures that begin during junior high school. "I've been able to talk to my kids about it," Fishman said.

"I have a 9-year-old and a 14-year-old. I am very aware of the pressures that exist on children." The township has traditionally supported antismoking efforts. Last year, the council proposed an ordinance banning cigarette vending machines and displays in local stores. survey last year that demonstrated 20 percent of the state's middle school children have smoked a cigarette in the past month. Fishman said that is a ripple effect of advertising that targets youth and make smoking seem glamorous like the Joe Camel character and the young Newport couples.

"We're trying to fight fire with fire here," Fishman said, noting that the $1 million campaign will be aired over youth-oriented cable outlets such as MTV and Nickelodeon, as well as in the print media and on radio stations. One print ad juxtaposes a photograph of a cigarette butt with a photo of the backside of a hippopotamus. The caption reads: "One Stinks. The Other's a Hippo's Butt." at the headlines. Thirteen-year-old Shannon O'Malley said she thought the ads would be effective to deter teens from smoking.

"One of my friends smokes. She doesn't want me to tell on.he, though," O'Malley said "These (aj- vertisements) would just tell her that it's not good for her." Fishman said the advertising is just one facet of the state's efforts to combat cigarette smoking. He said th state's tobacco age-of-sale enforcement program has cut down significantly on the number of people acrosp the state who illegally sell cigaretteis to minors. The law, passed in 1996, allow merchants to be fined up to $1,000 and possibly lose their tobacco license ii i. i 1 easily ms irro MY ROOM MSTALUTKW 4 SERVICE 1854 Hwy 9 Toms River, NJ (908) 244-1800 1-800-640-6751 KST PRICES ottttaan TRANSMISSION SINCE 1962 The Department of Health did a Counselor sues Brookdale over promotion TRANSMISSION TUIJE-UP I Any Major Internal I Automatic Transmission Repair.
