Civil disobedience and tobacco control : the case of BUGA UP

(Disponible en anglais seulement.)

The author discusses the history of the group BUGA UP (Billboard Utilising Graffitists Against Unhealthy Promotions) who defaced or "re-faced" tobacco billboard advertisements in Australia from approximately 1978-1994. The new messages emphasized the adverse health effects of tobacco and/or the way the tobacco industry profits from addiction.
