Disney discouraged Smoking Through Goofy

One such campaign was a video released by Disney in 1951, which aimed to ridicule smoking and show how desperate a man can be when he is dependent on nicotine. The video, which was recently posted on QuitSmokingPainlesslyNow, has been a topic of discussion for many reasons.

The video features Goofy, a beloved Disney character, struggling with his smoking addiction. In the video, Goofy is shown frantically searching for cigarettes, eventually resorting to asking for “weeds” in desperation. This portrayal of a character as beloved as Goofy struggling with addiction was a bold move by Disney, but it was not the only thing that caught people’s attention.

What many viewers found bizarre was Disney’s choice of words. Goofy’s request for “weeds” instead of cigarettes was strange and raised questions about whether Disney understood the issue of smoking addiction. Weeds cannot be better than smoking, and it’s unclear why Disney made such a choice. This caused many to question what was wrong with Disney and if they truly understood the dangers of smoking.

Despite the strange wording, the video’s message was clear: smoking is harmful and addictive. It was an innovative way to communicate the dangers of smoking and the desperate lengths people will go to feed their addiction.
