The Campaign

We meet a guy that is addicted to rocket (rucola/arugula). He just needs to put it under his lip, all the time. We see him in different situations throughout the day, with cutbacks to how his addiction began. We see him admiring his bigger brother, trying it for the first time and trying/not trying to quit. He even describes the economic cost of his addiction. At the end, the VO says that all kinds of addictions are stupid, being addicted to snus (Swedish wet tobacco to be placed under one’s lip) is extra stupid as it damages your mouth and increases the risk of cancer.
