When one pictures a cutesy bunny rabbit, the first image that usually comes to mind is the Easter bunny hopping down the trail to give out Easter eggs to children -- not a cigarette smoking cottontail like the Smorkin' Labbit.
The odd creature features multiple different paint jobs that transform the rabbit into a variety of different animals such as a bumble bee and a shark or inanimate objects like a pumpkin.
One feature stays the same throughout the collection however, and that is the cigarette that hangs out of side of the animal's mouth.
The smoking bunny comes in a regular and miniature version and each one is specially designed by Frank Kozik and has been named according to its coloring.
