Script in English
FVO:Imagine if the words I am speaking are cigarette smoke. They are floating in the air around you. And the more I talk, the more smoke there is. It's like passive smoking, you can't do anything about it. You're inhaling my words right now and you can't stop them seeping into your body. It has already begun. Nicotine takes only seconds to reach the brain, by now you have absorbed over 4000 different chemical compounds. 43 of which can cause cancer. Like amino bifinol which is attacking your liver. And hydrogen cyanide -the poison used in the gas chambers of World War II. Which is already beginning to paralyse the cilia in your lungs. Last year passive smoking killed over 3000 adults. It killed the person behind this advertisement. The
