Kelly Clarkson is fuming over an ad

Kelly Clarkson is fighting over an advertisement that promotes cigarettes. And get this— it features her face and name all over it. How did this happen?

Kelly is scheduled for an upcoming concert in Jakarta, and to promote the event, a local sponsor, an Indonesian cigarette brand, released an advertisement tying the two together. Furious over this deal that was made without her knowing, she still refused to cancel the gig despite public outcry. Instead of what would have been punishing her fans for something they didn’t do, Kelly decided to fight the deal until the Indonesian sponsor backed down.

The posters will be taken down over the next few days, and the cigarette brand’s sponsorship has been canceled. Despite the sticky situation, Kelly stuck to her guns about staying loyal to her fans and not sacrificing her personal anti-smoking stance.

As a role model (and remember, first American Idol!), Kelly has the ability to raise awareness about the issue of smoking effects on health. Join her and stand up to fight the tobacco industry! Here are some tips if you’re a smoker and trying to quit, and some ideas to get your peers together to make your community more smoke-free.
