"Smoking Kills Commercial" is a comical and tragic anti-smoking commercial,
which was surrounded by mild controversy due to its content that many have
labeled as animal cruelty.
"Smoking Kills Commercial".
The commercial is quite simple, lasting 30 seconds, it features a home carpet
installer, who, once he finishes his job, realizes that he left his cigarette
box under the carpet. Seeing no other option, the man decides to crush the
pack as much as possible to disguise it.
Seconds later, the owner of the house approaches the man to hand him her
cigarette pack, which she had forgotten in the kitchen. Not even 10 seconds
pass, when the woman's daughter approaches the pair to ask them if they had
not seen her hamster. The increasingly visible bloodstain on the carpet
leaves no doubt as to what has just happened.
