Hank at his worse yet again, unfortunately he's dragged his family into it this time. Yet it's an enjoyable episode.
Hank catches Bobby smoking and decides to teach him a lesson in the worse parenting: making him smoke an entire carton of cigarettes until he's sick, this lesson fails and the whole family ends up with a crippling nicotine addiction.
Many anti-smoking episodes have phone in on the subject too much, this episode is guilty as well but does it with unusually grand humor even in its darkest scenes such as the restaurant scene and Hank smoking with Enrique.
Hank's negligence and old fashioned ways show his help does more harm than good, his hypocrisy gives many scenes hilarious results though it shows major faults to any argument that the character is a wonderful father, little is to said about Peggy in this episode though you are shocked by her reactions in a desperate situations and you feel bad that her husband dragged her into his smoking problem.
Luanne's subplot is not helpful, it's small and her anger against the family dog Ladybird is unnecessary even if it was expensive makeup, though her solution in Act 3 helps save the family and curb their addiction validates her in this episode due to trauma she faced in the past involving her parents' crumbling marriage.
The episode is endless in laughs, it shows how a simple thing like smoking could crumble a family, though it just an over exaggeration due to the years of the 90s were ashtrays in restaurants existed and magazines still had cigarette ads in them. The topic is not be debated here but shows a homage to Very Special Episodes and After School Specials of the 80s or 90s.
Boomhauer's PSA is both unusual and yet works, Boomhauer's status of a Fonzie-type character gives a nonsensical dialogue to not smoke using his car's filter as an example, creative but is distracting from his rambling involving both Morton Downey and Robert Downey Jr. And their behavior before wooing a woman away from the screen. The only PSA without Hank ( not including the end credits of Sleigh of Hank ) but yet it works.
The Lesson is not to smoke but what not to do when talking to your children about smoking, don't be like Hank and Peggy, be responsible and quitting smoking is not the same reaction as a drug addiction, especially since there is mild withdrawals in nicotine addiction. Remember this was the 90s, everything over exaggerated on such topics.
Yup.
