They should do an updated social media campaign. The moment that the bulk of young people started associating cigarettes with losers and boring old people was the moment that Big Tobacco started buying into the vaping industry as a new way to addict kids to nicotine (and various toxic additives, of course).

Tobacco Executive: “We have to fund an anti-smoking ad for kids, but we don’t want it to be very effective. Is there some character out there that people see as kid-friendly, but will come across as preachy and annoying? You know, to indirectly make smoking seem cool?”
The one nerd in the room: “Boss, I’ve got just the android for you!”

I wonder what that set is from. It looks rather elaborate for a 60 second ad spot, so I assume it’s reused from something. Or maybe it’s the “sci-fi set decor” storage room all spread out?
Someone should have told Jabba that hookahs are even worse:
