Kids in The Car? Pay $200

— August 19, 2008 — Lifestyle
Does this ad disturb you? That's the point. This print awareness campaign was created for the city of Okotoks, Alberta, and is meant to make people aware of a new smoking bylaw. The new rule says that anyone who smokes with children in the car is subject to a $300 fine.

The ad copy reads, "If this offends you... smoking with kids in a car isn't any different."

The retro image looks much like you might imagine the Marlboro to have looked at home with his baby, exhaling a thick puff on smoke into the baby's face.
