Mr. Butts: Whoa, Nellie Belle! Is that a cool person? Hmmm...hard to tell while he's eating.. Hi, folks! Mr. Butts here! Ever wonder why smoking is so popular with teens? Believe it or not, it's not because of the great buzz that smoking provides! Teens smoke because of who's smoking - the cool kids! Yes, 99 of 100 cool kids - the kids your child admires - smoke, thanks to smoking's dangerous, edgy, anti-authority image! Let me show you what I mean...excuse me, youngster - who's the coolest kid you know? Boy: You're looking at him. Mr. Butts: Well, I thought so! You don't by any chance smoke, do you? Boy: No. Smoking's for idiots. Mr. Butts: I had to pick the one in 100... Boy: Actually, none of my boys smoke. Don't know why. Second boy: Well, it's not cool. Otherwise you'd be doing it.
