The campaign comprises a series of 28 idents featuring a pairing of two up-and-coming comedians, as well as posters.

The idents show the comic duo in everyday situations when an individual would usually smoke a cigarette.

Instead of sharing a cigarette, they are shown exchanging witty gags and enjoying the good times.

The campaign aims to target smokers at the key moments when they crave a cigarette and instead encourage them to crave life.

The 12-second idents will be aired before and after each ad break between programming from 5-9pm.
