B/W bit of 50s TV commercial for safety-smoker comparing the dangers of smoking in bed to the atmoic bomb: Cu headline in newspaper cutout "Smoking in Bed is as Deadly as the Atomic Bomb!" Threatening VO announces this too. Paper goes up in flames. MS man awakens in bed to find his room in flames with utter panic and shock in his face - very exaggerated and funny. "...unless you use the new Safety-Smoker!" CU same man reading calmly in bed (no flames) w/ Safety-Smoker; CU of Safety-Smoker in ashtray, female hand reaches in for the cigarette. Abruptly cuts to logo: Kalamazoo Home Appliances & Heating Equipment.
