If you miss the '80s, this 1987 anti-smoking campaign ad is the throwback you need to watch

What comes to mind when one thinks of the '80s?

Probably cheesy soap operas, along with crazy hair and great music — but nothing gets more 80's than this advertisement.

It was aired in 1987 for an anti-smoking campaign, back when we still had the SBC (Singapore Broadcasting Corporation).

You can watch the video here — and please do yourself a favour and watch it with sound, you won't regret it:

If you're running out of data, though, here are some of the best gifs from it:

The video takes place in a club when a bunch of youths meet — and, of course, start to smoke:

By logic, roller-derby girls roll out to the rescue.

Then, a bunch of dancers shame a smoker who's descending in a bubble lift:

Smoke coming out of your ears? This, naturally, calls for an immediate cold shower:

We can safely say the commercial has done its job, 30 years after it was first played.
