Don’t cough on me!

June 2, 2010

EIGHTY seven percent of Australians have experienced someone coughing on them without covering their mouth, and 86% believe that a chesty cough in public is worse than burping, according to the recent Bisolvon Chesty Cough Survey. Conducted as part of its new YouTube winter social marketing campaign video titled “I hate people coughing on my head,” the survey also found that public transport and movie cinemas are the two places where people are most likely to get annoyed by an inconsiderate cougher. The most offensive type of cough, according to 78% of survey respondents is the chesty cough, whilst poor coughing manners were rated as badly as inconsiderate smokers and people who leave gum behind for others to step or sit on. The YouTube campaign uses humor to highlight the importance of proper coughing etiquette and in turn stop the spread of the flu virus. To view the video CLICK HERE.
