The Truth About "Light" Cigarettes

"Trucks" Television Ad Description

Voiceover:

This truck represents a regular cigarette.
And here's you.
This truck represents a light cigarette.
Here's you again.

We just thought you should know . . .
While there's time to stop.

Text on screen:

Light or regular. Both deadly.
