Deemed as the best anti-smoking ad ever created, the Thai Health Promotion Foundation released a new PSA, called \u201cSmoking Kid,\u201d that will make smokers realize that their habit is affecting a lot more people than just themselves. In the 2:38 clip, two young kids each go up to strangers on the street that are smoking and ask for a light for their cigarette. As expected, the adults were baffled at their question, and begin to lecture the kids about the health hazards of smoking, such as:<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. You are too young.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you smoke, you die faster. Don\u2019t you want to live and play?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSmoking causes lung cancer and emphysema.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s all going well, until the kids bust out their own question for the adults.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it\u2019s so bad, why are you smoking?\u201d<\/p>\n
Before they leave, they hand the adults a piece of paper that reads: \u201cYou worry about me. Why not about yourself? Reminding yourself is the most effective warning to help you quit.\u201d Included was a help hotline at the bottom. Since it was uploaded on the Internet, it received over 5 million Youtube views in 10 days, was shared all over the news stations, and there was a 40% increase in phone inquiries by smokers who wish to quit.<\/p>\n
