An early classroom film about the physical effects of smoking. While the film tries to remain neutral throughout, the folks at Encyclopedia Britannica are unable to deny the negative effects of nicotine and tar, and they give us some mildly upsetting experiments with cute bunnies to prove what nicotine can do to you if someone paints your heart with the stuff, or what would happen to you if someone painted your backside with tobacco tar. Interesting to note: the research into the connection between smoking and cancer is "relatively new."
