Here's the cringeworthy e-cigarette ad banned from daytime in the UK (NSFW)

Morto for everyone involved in this.

THIS AD FOR VIP e-cigarettes has been banned before 11pm in the UK, following complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority.

We would suggest that it should be banned because you’re likely to pull every single cringe muscle you have.

The ASA were concerned about “the sexually provocative presentation of the male and female characters in conjunction with a graphic description of oral sex”. Warning: the sound is totally NSFW.
