Graphic Anti-Smoking Advertisements hit U.S. Monday through July (VIDEO)

A group of graphic anti-smoking adds will be hitting the U.S. from April through July to try and change the response of those who regularly pick up a pack.

Of those pictured in some of the advertisements that will be seen, Terrie Hall, 52, a woman who started smoking in high school to fit in and gradually picked up two or more packs a day developed throat cancer and her larynx was removed so that she now only can speak via a hands-free device through a hole or stoma in her neck, according to USA TODAY.

"My grandson has never heard my real voice," she says of the 11-year-old boy. "I don't even remember what my own voice sounds like."

Hall, who appeared last year in the U.S. government's first paid anti-smoking ads, attracted so much public attention (her spot got 1.3 million You Tube views) that she appears in the campaign's second 12-week phase, which launches Monday.

In ads that are just as in-your-face as the prior ones, Hall and other former smokers describe how smoking caused them to lose a parent at a young age or a leg from amputation or the ability to breathe easily. Nathan, 54, an Oglala Sioux from Idaho who often uses a respirator, says he got asthma from secondhand smoke exposure at work and lost his job.

Others involved in the making of the advertisements include 40-year-old Bill whose smoking led to heart surgery, kidney failure and blindness in one eye. After everything he's been through, he offers this bit of advice.

"Make a list. Put the people you love at the top. Put down your eyes, your legs, your kidneys and your heart. Now cross off all the things you're OK with losing because you'd rather smoke."
