This anti-smoking ad targets Asian Americans. Looks like the California Smokers’ Hotline couldn’t afford an endorsement from Jackie Chan or Jet Li.
For goodness sakes, some things just make you shake your head…
I didn’t know smoking was bad but after this ad, my eyes have opened up. (Pun intended)
Here’s another example of Kung Fu being used by a company and then the company tried to anonymously defend what they had done!
Shouldn’t Chuck Norris be suing for infringing on his Kick Drugs Out of America campaign? 
it’s a wonder i still have any hair left…
Actually, that ad is probably based on a series of ads I’ve seen in airports featuring Jackie Chan kicking very large cigarettes. Perhaps this is the B version to save costs and not use his photographic image.
Actually, I see a very small man kicking a normal sized cigarette. so I doubt this has anything to do with Jackie Chan.
