A dark, yet effective public interest commercial. The scene is portrayed by animated dolls, which has a creepy effect enhanced by the music box tune in the background. A doll boy and a doll girl are sitting on the couch watching television, the boy is sliding his arm around the girl when a cat comes in and vomits next to them. The boy gets up and leaves the field of vision of the camera, still on the girl who is fixing herself in her compact. When he returns to the couch and places his arm around her, moving in to kiss her the camera reveals he has the cat vomit in his mouth. The camera moves to the television displaying the message “Kissing a Smoker is just as gross. Tobacco smokes you.”
