Two relatively elderly women share a seemingly directionless conversation over their shared addiction to smoking. The title refers to a change in packaging which is about to com into force to supposedly curtail youth smoking.
One smoker confesses to her friend that she was probably about eleven years of age when she started smoking and that her one attempt to give up the practice during the passage of Lent came to nothing due to a relatively boring day by herself.
Numerous cigarettes are lighted throughout the brief span of the short, and one of the two ladies seems intent on using the handy ashtray in somewhat of a ceremonious manner.
If there is a theme to this interesting short, it is that once the addiction has taken hold, it doesn't appear to be at all of either party's mind to try to break it.
Pretty good for what must have been a rather improvisational shot by a cameraman/director.
