Victoria targets ice use in drug awareness campaign

The Victoria government’s department of health is targeting ice use in the state in a new campaign which aims to show how addictive the drug is.

Produced by independent creative agency Lifelounge in consultation with the department of health and youth drug experts The Penington Institute, the campaign features an ice user and how his drug taking affects those around him. It aims to encourage users to reflect on their behaviour and asks ‘What are you doing on ice?’
