THE TOBACCO HORROR PICTURE SHOW 2.0

Combining humor with horror like the cult classic its name parodies, this informative program balances over-the-top media segments with testimonials from current and recovering tobacco users as it convinces viewers that cigarettes and spit tobacco are horrific. A victim of throat cancer smokes through the hole in her neck created when her larynx was removed; the nightmarish "tar lady" portrays on the outside what happens to a smoker’s body on the inside; and "Professor Grosso revels in his lab while adding toxic chemicals to his "natural" cigarettes, all while an older brother urges—and eventually convinces—his younger brother via text to stop smoking.
