To be honest I still have trouble watching it now, because it reminds me of the terror I felt as a child every time this came on. It's an anti-smoking ad from the mid 80's and it seemed to be in EVERY commercial break for a while. I've spoken to other people who felt the same terror. I think it was taken off the air eventually because it was creeping too many kids out.

Should work now. 

Odd, I've never seen that ad before.

I have to turn way when the latest ones come on. I'm not linking to them either.

If you'd watched Saturday morning kid's TV around 1985 or so, you couldn't avoid it. 

I haven't ever seen that one before either.

That explains it then, I was 25 in '85. 

I was 22.
