Breathe Safely

Synopsis

2019: Smoking is now illegal and carries the Death Penalty. Unprecedented new laws strictly prohibit any form of smoking activity or products whether in privacy or public. Overnight the tobacco companies have been wiped out and illegal dealing on the black market is run by underworld cigarette pushers. It is the duty of the A.I.R (Air Intelligence Regiment) to enforce the law and deal with any felons. The Smoker's Co-operative of Underground Militants (SCUM) are blatantly defying the law by openly smoking in public places spreading terror and pandemonium. They continue to smoke their smuggled cigarettes, which are available at an incredibly high price.
