The Allergy by Wong Fu Productions

The Allergy by Wong Fu Productions

Wong Fu Productions released a short film for the American Cancer Society entitled “The Allergy”. The PSA is an effort to combat smoking and help people live a healthier lifestyle. Instead of focusing on the harmful effects of smoking, the message zeroes in on the benefits of quitting. Sometimes all it takes is the right motivation to quit a bad habit. Bad things happen when you smoke. The short is part of the “xoutcig” campaign targeted at students.

Your favorite Wong Fu Regulars are in this short including David Choi, Cathy Nguyen, and Chris Dinh. Even “shybabenicole143″ from Funemployed and Dance To This Song aka Kelley Koski makes an appearance.

Here’s brief statement from Wong Fu Productions about the short:

Henry (Chris’ character) is a smoker, and you’ll notice that no one ever tells him NOT to smoke, not even Jill (his girlfriend). Everyone’s fine with it, she just has a “special” allergic reaction. This way, it’s totally up to Henry to decide what he wants to do. If he quits, he gets his super gorgeous gf…if he doesn’t quit, he get’s an annoying David Choi. The choice (eh eh) is easy.
