Summary: An anti-smoking advert that shows what a human would look like if smoking was a natural activity - rather ghoulish. 1 segment.
Title number: 18183
LSA ID: LSA/21340
Description: Segment 1 Eerie music plays, and a smoky, futuristic interior is seen. An alien-looking man sits in a chair, continuously smoking, and a voiceover says that he is what the first natural born smoker will look like. He has a large nose to filter out impurities, self-cleaning lungs, a highly-developed index and middle finger, smaller ears, extra eyelids to protect eyes from smoke and an inbuilt resistance to heart disease, lung cancer and thrombosis. The narrator ends by saying that unfortunately, the first natural born smoker has not yet been born. Time start: 00:00:00:00 Time end: 00:00:57:15 Length: 00:00:57:15
