Never heard someone say "this is great" after sparking their first cigarette.
Some do some dont, i got hooked instantly, and liked the draw down my throat, depends on the person
I did.
Crack cocaine is a different story
@@johnlang160 if your drunk then yes big or sober it will just make nauseous and probably not like it first time
I got nausea and wasnt drunk
I like how the kid experiences like three metaphors regarding addiction and disease and just brushes them off, yet money is what got him to quit.
Cloaytonem2
Going through a cemetery with secondhand smoke victims, no less.
My breath was also nasty..i stank ..my clothes stank...and my lips began to get little gray spots..along with my guns.. That was it fir me. Quit cold turkey..then. When I tried again..it wasnt the same. ..made me nauseous..once i added up the math one day the deal was sealed. Never had one again.
You could spend the money upgrading to organic food instead.
the 60’s sure were a capitalistic time weren’t they lmao
Still he quit which is the important part
"Have a smoke!"
"No thanks."
"Come on, try one!"
"Alright then. Thanks."
David Mamet wishes he could write dialogue like this.
That kid didn't take much convincing -_-
LOL was about the write the same
give us a fag
lol not much willpower there.
Naivete in it's finest example, I say.
This is for all the old smokers who say "but but when I was young NOBODY knew that smoking was bad!!!"
This is one commercial, and it's from Britain. Yea, I'm sure SO MANY people saw this.
Yeah
Except for the Nazis apparently
@@fuarkYT There are more commercials in existence than this one.
so, smoking instantly teleports the smoker to the bad part of San Francisco?
This is London, to be precise.
What’s a San Francisco?
@@DefinitelyNotaFurrySpy-zq2zs USA?
Nah, there's not enough human excrement or needles on the streets for it to be San Francisco.
Lol
Yup, this seems extremely accurate. I'm so glad I quit smoking.
Mmmmm smoking mmmmm
And I used to think smoking makes you glamorous with those ads back in the middle 60s glamorous
What's remarkable is that this is only a few years after the first reports linking smoking to disease were published.
Actually in 1966 the Us Surgeon General Luther Terry was the first to have a warning put on the packet of cigarettes.
And 20 years after this Tobacco Execs still claimed nicotine is not addictive.
@@CaptainApathetic Uh-huh. They knew that nicotine was addictive but they had to say that it wasn't because if they told the truth they'd be opening themselves up to lawsuits.
Even the fuckin NAZI's knew about tobacco causing cancer. It took the U.S. a while to catch on ..
I've been smoking for 30 years and thinking about quitting smoking for 30 years
Have you already quit smoking ?
Try psychedelic drugs like LSD or mushrooms, if done correctly it could help you to stop smoking with only 1 dose required ! If you want to stop smoking or other addictions you should read of the benefits of LSD in helping to rewire your brain into that of a non-smoker
@RP quitting a bad habit on getting on an even worse habit.not even wise at all.the purpose of to quit smoking is to keep toxins out of your body.not to make worse for an alternative that we all know is even worse for us already like LSD.if you want a better health.self discipline and people encouraging you to quit is the best way.there is no easy out!
only ussyis quit
Psychedelics aren't that poisonous, and one trip is certainly better than a lifetime of smoking. If they can help someone quit, we should encourage it.@@UPBEATFOREVER
What are the chances the very people behind this were smoking during its production? Everybody smoked back then
The insiders are the most qualified.
Even the cats and dogs! As judge judy says "outrageous!"
Only half of the people smoked at best
Wasn't it almost expected back then?
Not everyone.
Ah yes every child’s dream present, a tinny old portable radio!
I would quite like it.
It hasn't always been 2023, and that was about as far as portable music technology went in 1967... at which time 21st century inventions didn't exist yet, believe it or not.
I recall at school in 1966, a senior girl was crying because she had no cash for cigarettes and wondered how she was going to get through the afternoon. It wasn’t the health dangers which dissuaded me from the evil weed, it was the evil stench, the expense and the fact it turned you into a drug addict using a legal high. I’m now 65, and recently discovered that 5 of my school colleagues are now dead from smoking related causes with another 4 suffering as a result of their addiction. As part of my BSc degree, I learned the psychopharmacology of nicotine and put simply, like any other stimulant drug, it turns your brain inside out so your focus is always on where your next ‘fix’ is coming from. So let’s be honest, the government could slap £2 on a pack of 20 cigs from 6pm this evening and they’d still get their cash.
"Turning your brain inside out so you're always focused on your next fix like any other stimulant" is a gross oversimplification of what happens in the brain.
I have a similar story. In my 1975 Sophomore English class, the girl seated next to me kept saying repeatedly, "I'm just dying for a cigarette.'
Your BSc degree is degrading after reading the cohesion in that paragraph. What a simplistic way to think about addiction.
The same year I had an uncle die of emphysema and I decided not to smoke.
Be honest, you traded her a pack for a BJ 😅
There is absolutely nothing cool about coughing up smoke from your lungs at all.
5:50 to 6:06 --- Love the “groovy” lettering on Bronchitis and Heart Disease.
Bet the guys who animated this were smokers. Hell, they'd probably be smoking while making this as well.
Well the best ones to warn us are the insiders.
They probably weren’t smoking cigarettes either. Smoke cigarettes!!!!!!!!!!
@@ChiefCodee no! they give you cancer
@@blueberry-babe1840 _Exactly!_
@@maogu1999 lol
Funny how Walt had an addiction to smoking himself
This was when they only realised some of the dangers if smoking, since then we've found out so much more smoking causes such as stroke, copd, gum disease, infertility etc.
The slavery imagery really rings true for me. I work at a gas station and sell cigarettes all day. So many of my customers want to quit, but feel they can't. Most of them are spending easily a hundred bucks a week on cigarettes. That's 400 a month. That could've gone to a car payment or a new TV.
Once I had a guy come in who had a hole punched in his trachea so he could breath. He had to put his finger over the hole to speak. Smoking had done that much to him but he was still buying smokes.
I'm glad that smoking isn't really a "cool" habit anymore. I always shake my head when I sell to young adults. Maybe if they worked my job and saw the wrecks I see every day they would think it's not worth it.
My little brother used to work that kinda job too. Always said the same. Also had a ton of 18 and 19 year olds freaking out because the age was being raised to 21 and it didn't feel like they could quit (we're from Illinois, so this was a few years back).
Thsts why vaping is great. Yet the media portrays them as being the same exact danger as smoking
@@CaptainBones222
While it’s true that vaping is less dangerous than smoking it’s still not a safe thing to be doing
And this is coming from someone who’s sick of the anti vaping messages
Cheaper to smoke weed.
Hundred bucks a week!! What the heck are they smoking?? Me not a pack a day so $35 a week maybe!! Have a few beers then drive around!!
Suprising there were anti-smoking ads this early. I was under the impression that people realized smoking was awful in the 70s and 80s.
Did you also know that the nazis were the first people to link smoking with cancer
@@loganbuckley2010 very ironic considering how the Nazis were on so many other drugs themselves.
@@chibiredhead7082 Hitler hated smoking so the nazis made the first anti-tobacco, ads turns out their wright
Cigarette commercials were banned in 1970.
I think the first truly accurate and transparent medical articles and studies began to emerge in the early 1960's. I think the first US lawsuit against tobacco companies happened around 1964, after a female smoker died of lung cancer.
I've always dreamed of buying a radio...
lol!
If the devil really gave out free cigarettes i would be a rich man today
But if you sold them on then you would be working for the devil
I don't know about that.
How do you know he's talking about selling-on tobacco cigarettes? Instead, he could mean he'd save the money he now usually spends on tobacco cigarettes and have his devil-sold tobacco cigarettes
@@thecreator3988 That's cool!
@@buttmuncher6938 lol
Cams have come a long way since 1967, And this was clearly on The BBC. A British PSA.
I posted about this film on a vid about PIFs...and here it is! We were shown this film in primary school circa 1971-72 when I would have been 9. It terrified me and gave me sleepless nights, and I have never been tempted to try even one cigarette. There was also a live action film we were shown but that one is very hazy in my memory.
i like the way he just changes his clothes in 1 frame
Imagine how many more people could have been saved if more knew about the information this cartoon taught, back then. We need to let this present time be that table changer, folks. Never smoke!
Surprised this was made back in 1967 i thought it was at least until the late seventies early eighties when people finally saw the negatives of smoking
There were big changes between around 1967 and the start of the 1960s. In 1967, programs like this were made and doctors were starting to see the health issues connected with smoking. But for example in a couple TV shows I remember seeing from the early 1960s, patients were still smoking in hospitals and no one cared, and I've been told that's how it still really was at that time
The first serious publication of links to dmokong snd death etc was in 1953 in the UK! Buh it took time for peopke to tske notice and accept it. I remember the older generation dismissing it as hogwash and the government trying to spoil people's enjoyment. Many
Word was getting out in the 1960's.
2:13 that's what became of The Late Robin Williams' beloved parrot Pudgy. Rest In Peace Robin And Pudgy.
1:13 - 1:31 shows all of my dreams since I've quit smoking.
Every Vivid Day.
Addiction nightmares. I used to get them. Nightmares where I'd have to hide large amounts of pain pills and having a morphine syringe in Me. Shit is so surreal.
My friend in high school was incapacitated from one cigarette for like 30 minutes and puking. I guess it depends on the person, but never touch a cigarette kids, it's a curse. It's more addictive than heroine.
Nicotine is not more addictive than heroin
@@VincentW2as someone who has used both, cigarettes are harder to quit. Smoking is so casual and can be done anywhere, also having friends who smoke makes it difficult to quit yourself.
So many of my classmates in high school and college/university should have met your friend and learned from your friend's experience.
I tried smoking once while I was in my late teens and this was because my mother, my aunt, my late uncle who was my aunt's husband, my other aunt, and my older sister were all smokers who have since quit smoking.
While I did not suffer the effects your friend suffered from lighting up, I also realized this is not worth doing again and have not smoked since.
And let's not even mention vaping because it is just as disgusting and addictive as smoking.
Joke's on you Nick O'Teen, I've been smoking daily for 3 years and still haven't learned to do smoke circles, so I'll never be your slave
Where is Superman when you need him
I smoked 45 years……..I quit 6 months ago. Looking at this, and realizing that I started smoking at 13….in 1977……crazy!
So happy that you quit!
@@sanne433 it’s been 14 months now and still goin!!!
Dude ... poor Nick really gets it in the end.
I need to show this to my friends.
Absolutely.
Share this video with as many people as possible because smoking and its cousin vaping are both deadly.
I know someone who started smoking in the late 60's and has been a chain smoker. She is having some bad health issues from smoking now and she is having troubles breathing, she told me she has cut down to a pack a day.
I hope she lives long enough to actually give up smoking altogether because nicotine is a really vicious and addictive poison.
Satan can spontaneously create fire from a flick of his thumb. Creative little element to the animation!
Very good. I used to smoke cigars but not anymore. I discontinued smoking cigars in 2014 so I'm not going to smoke cigars ever again.
I don't smoke cigarettes at all so I never tried cigarettes. Smoking cigarettes is a very bad habit and it damages your health, organs (such as heart and lungs) and it also stains your teeth ye know.
Don't even try to waste your money on cigarettes.
25 ppl are smokers whom hit the dislike button
I didn’t know that, useful information to know going forward...
I'm glad I quit smoking, I've smoked cigarettes before I relized it was just a way of killing myself slowly and boy I wished I thought of quitting sooner but don't worry, I'm done smoking forever
ikr, and these anti-smoking cartoons are even funnier to those who used to smoke.
I guess this was around the time people got wise on smoking
they are not wise if they are still smoking.
@@greeneyedtrixie thats what Bean is implying, genius lol
The first confirmed links to lung cancer dated back to the early/mid 1950s, so it was less than 20 years, but the message still hadn't fully hit home,
@@Keithbarber That’s because in the 50s tobacco companies falsely claimed that their “Filters” stopped the problems. This was debunked in like 1964, so they abused the legal system and overwhelmed the scientists with ads. When in the late 60s the scientists got ads airing, the tobacco companies had their ads taken away from tv, they suppressed evidence, found new ways to advertise and hid science. It was really till 1998 when the tobacco industry got truly exposed for what they did. They lied to Congress too, they all said nicotine wasn’t addictive when their thousands of documents said “We’re in the business of selling nicotine, an addictive drug”. Heck they even destroyed a safe cigarette (one that doesn’t cause cancer) in the 70s to protect the sale of regular brands like Marlboro. The actions of the tobacco industry was despicable but luckily today it’s now in the public’s eye to see.
Maybe before then as well.....
The elevation looks so much like the pink panther art style too. It’s cute for that.
They had cigarette vending machines back then? Cool!
They still do in places like Cuba. Of course, they all seemed to be out of order when I was there in 2017..
@java lanes bowling alley in long Beach, CA by the traffic circle! In the back next to the restrooms... Each button was like a mini pack of cigarettes
In Germany they still exist
Back in high school, there were a few restaurants with machines we used to hit up as kids. The staff didn’t care about us, they would change out our money so we could buy them. I came across a machine recently, I’m trying to remember where. I was just surprised as I thought they had all been phased out. But now I’m 37 and don’t smoke anymore.
Yes, they did. I remember seeing them in restaurants. I distinctly remember a price of 60 cents per pack on one machine (1970's). I also remember routinely going into local "mom and pop" corner stores to buy cigarettes for my mom, who smoked for 30 years and then quit. Although she quit around 1991, she still wound up with COPD towards the end of her life.
Watching this for a class.
Well done!
"Hey there, have a smoke"
"No thanks"
"Go on try one"
"Alright thanks"
Too easy lmao
2:00 hey that’s my street
This is very well made, super pleasant animation for the time (i guess as pleasant as you can animate this topic)
how he lit the CIG!?
1967 wow 😮 that was before my parents were born
You must be very young I was born before 1967. XD
Watching my parents smoking while growing up in the 1970s. Passive smoking is tantamount to child abuse.
I dread to think how much smoke I was exposed to as a kid. I've never touched the things myself but I worry there's problems somewhere in the future for me.
It’s not so great if you end up on a ventilator and oxygen. I’m glad I never smoked them stinky things
NICk! O-TEEN!
This is a good educational video what happens to people's health when they smoke.
Agreed.
Check out another anti-smoking PSA made by the late film legend Yul Brynner because he made the PSA before dying from lung cancer as a result of his smoking addiction.
to quote spiderman, this is about as subtle as a train wreck. But it got some people to stop smoking, so dassa win.
i like the backgrounds on this
lOVE THOSE bEATLES hAIRCUTS!
this is why i never say yes to a cigar-oh wait wrong guy
I gotta quit smoking...
+Suzel Diego PLz do
So.. did you quit smoking yet?
it's been 5 years how've you been?
@@sk3llyisdead Maybe dead.
Dan Kelly lmfao
The Doctor looks like a 2D Captain Scarlet.
SIG...
I wonder who the voice actors are. Imdb lists Warren Mitchell as the villain, but I've not seen anything where he does that voice.
ahead of its time.
I wish I had seen this before 17 years ago
So did you quit?
@@lqkwje yes I did .. this year 😁
Wow, and I thought the American "Johnny Smoke" ads were creepy.
CaliCurmudgeon
Reading into the background of the cemetery scene makes it really dark. Those were INFANTS KILLED BY SECONDHAND SMOKE, HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
Johnny Smoke was creepy! I was 6 when that came out did it give me nightmares!!!!
Kent, satisfies best!
This is really great thanks for upload you got a new subscriber here stay awesome welcome library!
I've come to the conclusion that living is hazardous to your health.
My dad was a heavy smoker, dead at 64 from emphysema and a series of strokes caused by high blood pressure. Every morning when we got up for school and work, he coughed until he was blood red in the face. My brother dead age 51 from lung cancer after decades of smoking. My sister dead at 63 from cancer. My other brother suffered with lupus the last 15 years of his life. Doctors said smoking was damaging to his immune system, the direct cause of lupus, but he just couldnt give them up.
sorry for your losses.
Yup. My dad died at 62 from a massive heart attack after years of smoking related ill health, and my mum went at 73 after a decade of COPD - I wouldn't wish her suffering on my worst enemy. Horrible.
Couldn't.*
What type of cancer.?.
I never saw this advert wish I had. Ill now smoked from 12yrs of age in 70's Hope can quit
I remember 'em!
The devil really sucks at sports
Maybe because it has such a hot and smoky home...and it smokes quite a lot obviously
Quitting tobacco is tough, but not impossible
showing this to my friends tommorw,(:
My dad died on 2/6/2022 and it’s 2/9/2022 all because of smoking. On Monday will be his funeral on 2/14/2022 please anyone that smokes, chews tobacco or vapes Stop Now!!!
May his soul rest in peace 🙏 🕊
I'm so sorry.
Some people say it wasn’t commonly known smoking was bad for you in the 60s. If this public information film was made in 1967 it must have been known.
Regular show must of been inspired by this.
That devils got a mustache, seems legit to me!
The art style slightly resembles that of late age Famous Studios. The villain looks like something straight from a Seymour Kneitel short from that time!
I remember seeing this in the 8th grade, lol.
Was this made by the Halas-Bachelor studio? Since the voice actors are obviously British,it's likely,I think.
Yes they are in the credits
Brand-name smokes are now $25 a pack in Ontario (a province in Canada), plenty of young people happily pay it. Or maybe their parents pay as many are spoiled rotten here.
You can also buy plastic bags of up to 1,000 unmarked cigarettes off dealers from the First Nation reserves for about $250.
Health warnings or big prices or cheap unregulated smokes with rat droppings in them...people keep smoking. I guess it's edgy and dangerous, which is valuable to many young'uns. To hell with the risks.
this has to be one of the most DARKEST cartoon I have ever seen
Literally 💀
And nobody ever asks how he lit his thumb on fire. Seems legit.
It's Satan in disguise I guess. lol
I like how all the kids see the literal fucking devil morph into a red-faced biker and are just ready for that peer pressure.
is this available on DVD?
Watching these videos makes me want to quit :O
The old lady who crawled into the heart disease door is the same old lady who jumped into the early grave!
lmao these anti-smoking cartoons are hilarious so well done.
Not funny tbh when they're just brutally true.
@@frankchen4229 I know I used to smoke.
@@dannygjk i wish they made more of these
now we are trying hard not to traumatize an audience full of pansies
Not trying to take away from the point of the video, but I'm amazed by the number of people in the comments that don't know 'fag' is simply an old British slang word for cigarette.
I'm a cigar and pipe smoker. I just tried a cigarette not too long ago. I tried smoking it like a cigar, and the tobacco tasted foul. I inhaled, and it felt nice, but it irritated my lungs. I can't see how people could smoke those every day.
@Alexandra Williams nope
👺
That’s the devil mask emoji
I clicked on this thinking it was either an indie band or and older song but instead it was just an ad
Aw dock your bumming my trip!
I'm surprised that no one else is tugging at their collars from them saying... Well, I don't want to say it, but it rhymes with bag.
It's a 2 in one! It covers smoking AND being gay!
dd1cool how
har har
I thought, that only people can smoke.
Is that an 8mm camera or a Dymo Labelmaker?
I just love the fact that all the health information did was make Sam depressed, like he was definitely screwed now, because like, I can't just quit now! But then the truck driver going "Oi mate, don't ya wanna buy a label maker?!" Was all it took to make him quit, cold turkey. Health be damned, but this shit is expensive!
This would be the perfect name for a rap album right now
They defo play these in schools
This is such a good short and I got a laugh out of the doctor matteroffactly essentially telling the kid "Hell naw, I don't smoke anymore."
Edit: I just realized the detail that the boy actually took 'the devil' to his games in an honest attempt to be friendly with him, only for him to muck up his own plans because he was too concerned getting the kids to smoke than enjoying everything around him. Nice detail on that as it comes off as highlighting that we have a choice in whether we smoke or actually enjoying everything else around us.
Obviously from the UK
