This short cartoon (2 mins 37 secs) is part of Mexico's campaign against smoking and is featured on the site www.familiaysalud.es. It takes a tragicomic approach to the topic of tobacco, which might appeal to students!

Teaching ideas

Ask students to watch the clip and make a list (in English or in Spanish depending on their level) of the effects of smoking which are mentioned in the video. The visual clues should help them pick out the key words.

You could also ask them to note the character's catchphrase, along the lines of 'Fuma! No pasa nada!'
