‘Smoking Kid’ – Thailand Anti-Smoking Commercial

Thailand is known for their emotionally powerful advertising, and one such commercial has made it to the Western Internet again. 

Ogilvy Asia published this hard hitting anti-smoking ad for Thai Health. While being secretly filmed, adult smokers were confronted by child actors asking for a light. Without hesitation, the adult smokers only offered advice that smoking is dangerous, harmful, and bad. 

The children then asked, “Why do you smoke?” and offered a note that said, “You worry about me? But why not about yourself?” The powerful commercial is featured on Google+ and CBSNews.
