Go play in traffic with those tar-filled lungs
Not only does this ad present smokers with an uncomfortable truth (or at least, what we assume is a truth) about the state of their lungs, but its placement—out in the road, in the way of traffic—adds to the sense of danger. It’s clever, and of course, smokers will hate it. Link via Billboardom via Dead Insect.
