Star Wars Anti-Smoking PSA

A Star Wars–themed public service announcement (PSA) produced by the United States Department of Health and Human Services began airing in 1980 and starred the droids C-3PO and R2-D2, who warned children about the dangers of smoking. The television spot consisted of a skit in which C-3PO finds R2-D2 smoking a cigarette, prompting C-3PO to explain the negative physical effects of smoking and how the two of them should set a good example for Humans.
