Dying for a smoke (1967)

An animated cartoon on smoking and health. The villain, Old Nick O'Teen , disguises himself as an 18-year-old motor cyclist, the better to lure children into the cigarette habit. Fourteen-year-old Sam falls into the trap, but after awesome visions of his future, expert advice from a doctor, and straight talk from a friendly lorry-driver renounces the habit. This video was made from material preserved by the BFI National Archive. Find out more: http://catalogue.wellcome.ac.uk/record=b1675665~S3

@IwillKillYourCereal Yup, vending machines everywhere. I used to trot around the corner to our local tavern entry hall with 25 cents to buy Dad a pack...they cost 50 cents when I started 10 years later. What are they now, like $8?
