That's right a brand new sketch by yours truly! Suggestions will gladly be taken to make it better (like that'll happen). Anyway I hope it's liked.

EXT. GRADESCHOOL PLAYGROUND - JUNGLE GYM - DAY
SMOKER KID is sitting on the jungle gym smoking a cigarette. He is dressed nicely. A group of 5 older looking kids surround him scaring the kid. These guys look shady and sleazy.
SLEAZY KID
What's up faggot? Hows about you put that ciggarette out?
SMOKER KID
Uhh ... I really shouldn't ... Actually it's getting kind of late and I need to be
getting home soon. I don't want to worry my parents. You know how it is
right?
SLEAZY KID
No! Why don't you tell us ... HOW it is
SMOKER KID quickly rises to his feet and tries to get away but all the kids surround him. He finally struggles and gets out of the group. He is crying and rushes away.

INT. SMOKER KIDS BEDROOM - DAY
SMOKER KID is sitting on his bed with a pack of cigarettes in front of him. He is debating whether or not to throw the cigarettes away. Finally he gives in to the peer pressure of the taunts in his head of the kids from the playground and tosses the smokes into the trash.

EXT. GRADESCHOOL PLAYGROUND - JUNGLE GYM - DAY
SMOKER KID is sitting around the jungle gym with the sleazy group of kids from the day before. Only this day he is dressing like them and has no "smokes."
SMOKER KID
I love you guys! I never knew what I was missing ... I feel ... I feel like a whole
new man!
SLEAZY KID
Right on! Right on!
Everyone nods in agreement.

INT. LIVING ROOM OF SMOKER KIDS HOME - DAY
FATHER is sitting on the couch. He is upset. SMOKER KID comes through the front door and begins to run up the stairs straight to his room.
FATHER
Son! Why don't you come down here for a minute. I'd kind of like to talk to you.
SMOKER KID
Ahh Dad, you know I'm kind of tired and I've got a big track meet right around the
corner.
FATHER
Track? Since when are you on the track team?
SMOKER KID
It's no big deal dad. Just some of the guys they're on the team. It's nothing.
FATHER
Nothing huh? Hows about lettin' me bum a smoke?
SMOKER KID
Uhhh ... I'm kind of out of smokes right now ... I left them at school ... yeah, at school
FATHER
Poppycock! Your ashtrays have been awful clean lately! Now don't lie to me
son, I'm your father ... Have you been smoking?
SMOKER KID
Yes! I swear! Three packs a day. Sometimes four.
FATHER
Come here. I want to smell your breathe.
SMOKER KID
No!
FATHER
Come here!
FATHER pulls his son over and smells his breathe.
FATHER
Ah ha! Just as I suspected! Your as minty as a mint truck.
SMOKER KID
It's just gum. For real dad, it was treat day at school.
FATHER
Son! Your giving me a line! You and I both know it. So tell me who taught you
to stop smoking? Tell me! Tell me!
SMOKER KID
You did! I stopped because of you! You didn't think I'd find those box of patches?
FATHER
Oh son!
They embrace and are both crying.
