Synopsis/Details
A minor cigarette company (fictitious) in an attempt to compete for more market share, gets their resident scientist,
Bill Dicks to invent a super-addictive cigarette, joking, "It should be so addictive, even the dead should come back
for more". But it really starts to happen.
Smokers, who have died from smoking-related illnesses caused by the Special cigarettes, rise from the dead and demand
to smoke. But, since their bodies have decomposed, they have no lungs left, so they have to psychically remove the lungs
from living smokers, then absorb them into their own bodies, to be able to smoke the Specials.
Eventually the undead smokers run out of smokers' lungs to appropriate, so have to resort to kidnapping living non-smokers
to suck out their lungs. And so it starts.
This is a horror satire black comedy and as such has a logic of its own.
