This document outlines a proposed documentary about socially smoking. It would take an expository approach to educate viewers on the dangers of smoking and discourage young people from taking it up. Experts like doctors could provide information, while filming would occur at smoking spots and include interviews with smokers about how they started. The goal is to prevent smoking through a straightforward narrative that presents the negative consequences and ways to avoid smoking.
