Anything that gives you a bit of control over your instincts can't help but make you feel a degree of agency, and it's this sense of WORD that Arthur Studholme comedically brings to life in the Department for Health and Social Care's new spot.

Built on the insight that smokers are three times more likely to quit successfully when using proven tools and support, The Power To Quit Is In Your Hands shows a hapless worker slapped out of his temptation by the NHS Quit Smoking app, which takes control of his hand and leaves him standing with it aloft, He-Man style.

Wisely swerving the fear factor and instead building on a comic, observed moment, AMV BBDO's spot, shot through Magna Studios, plays to a willing if weary crowd.
