Smoking Fetus is a 1984 PSA from the American Cancer Society to warn that smoking can have horrible effects on newborns.
American Cancer Society - Smoking Fetus (1984, USA)
Synopsis[]
A fetus inside a woman pans on-screen. After a moment, the fetus lifts his left hand and reveals that he has a cigarette in his hand which he uses to smoke. He continues to do so until the advert ends.
Why It's Cursed[]
Everything about this advert is freaky as hell! The concept itself, the scary music, foreboding heartbeat of the woman, and desperate sounding narrator all contribute. Back when it first aired, it received a lot of complaints and was even covered on the news.
Trivia[]
- This ad was directed by David Fincher.
