Smokers must endure a bit of mockery in this gassy spot from the Ontario Ministry of Health.
BBDO Toronto created this spot (along with a similarly themed one about nibbling) to poke holes in the idea that “social” smoking isn’t really smoking.
The spot squeaks viewers over to QuitTheDenial.ca, the campaign’s Facebook page.
