Deborah Austin (April 13, 1950 – February 22, 2013) was an American anti-smoking advocate who appeared in anti-tobacco ads that aired in California starting in 1996.

By the time she went to UC Berkeley and managed a small, private phone company, she was smoking more than one pack a day.

She starred in the well-known "Voicebox" ad, where she is talking to the viewer then smokes through her stoma at her throat, described in a statement by Dr. Ron Chapman of the California Department of Public Health as "the most-recognized and talked about California tobacco control ad."

He continued, "Debi was a pioneer in the fight against tobacco and showed tremendous courage by sharing her story to educate Californians on the dangers of smoking.

"[4] Although she was finally able to quit smoking after the ads first aired, she continued to battle various forms of cancer for the rest of her life.
