Smoking Causes Coughing (French: Fumer fait tousser) is a 2022 absurd comedy directed by Quentin Dupieux. Contrary to what its title may suggest it does not give much advice about health.Five characters named Benzène, Methanol, Nicotine, Mercure and Ammoniaquenote (French words for toxic chemical compounds found in tobacco) are a Five-Man Band named the Tobacco Force. Together they fight monsters from outer space in what is a parody of Sentai. They are lead by a rat named Didier, who appears as an ugly puppet voiced (and presumably animated) by Alain Chabat. They never meet him, all his appearances are video conferences. They are supported by a robot named Norbert 500.Didier thinks that the team lacks cohesion, and sends them to a vacation in the countryside. They are expected to become a stronger team in preparation for a fight against a powerful villain named Lezardin (Benoît Poelvoorde).During their vacation they tell stories, or are told stories by other characters. Each story's narration consists in a Short Film with its own cast (allowing for many cameos) therefore this film flirts with Sketch Comedy (although some stories are horrific) and Anthology Film. This routine is interrupted by calls from Didier who is worried that Lezardin might destroy planet Earth. | |

Super Drowning Skills | |
| Smoking Causes Coughing / int_34bd7be2 | comment |
Super Drowning Skills: After taking the Tobacco Force to their retreat, Norbert 500 drives off to the end of a pier and into the lake, where he sinks, much to the team's confusion. Chief Didier later explains he was programmed to commit suicide at the end of the mission in order to make way for his replacement, Norbert 1200. | |

Public Service Announcement | |
| Smoking Causes Coughing / int_48346d2e | comment |
Public Service Announcement: Played with. The title is a parody of anti-tobacco public service announcements. Benzène tells a kid that smoking is very bad, but the Tobacco Force smoke when they are distressed. | |

Kavorka Man: Even though he is very ugly, Didier is very popular with the women in the Tobacco Force. He is also seen on two occasions with different women in his bedroom. | |

Body Horror: In one of the short stories, a man has his feet trapped in an industrial woodchipper. Then things go worse. See also Eye Scream. | |

Visual Innuendo: When Norbert 500 comes to wash the blood off the team's costumes, they all laugh at the very suggestive placement of the nozzle of his water spray. | |

Calling Your Attacks | |
| Smoking Causes Coughing / int_71bd62b9 | comment |
Calling Your Attacks: During their fight against the turtle monster, the Tobacco Force decide to cause a cancer attack; they surround their opponent and call their chemical compound (see Five Man Band). Mercure is said to lack sincerity in his calling his attack which causes some drama. | |

Major Injury Underreaction: The guy stuck in the woodchipper keeps insisting that he feels fine and repeatedly apologizes to his aunt (who's quite in disbelief about that part of the situation) for causing her so much trouble. | |

The monsters that the Tobacco Force fight are not puppets but People in Rubber Suits. At some point a little girl looks at a video that they have made, and comments that the monster looks fake. | |

Sentai | |
| Smoking Causes Coughing / int_b3da67e5 | comment |
Sentai: The main characters are an obvious parody of sentai shows that were popular France during in The '80s. However they are all dressed in blue. They fight ugly monsters played by People in Rubber Suits in a cheap outdoors places that looks a like former quarry. Some scenes feature Lezardin, an extraterrestrial villain, in what looks like a space ship in which he considers destroying planet Earth. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Smoking Causes Coughing / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The first monster fought by the Tobacco Force is a turtle, and their leader is a rat, therefore one can easily think of the ninja turtles. The rat is named Didier which seems to be a reference to Didier which was directed by Alain Chabat, who also acted as the titular character. Chabat voices (and presumably animates) the rat. Lezardin seems to be a V reference. His name suggests (in a not subtle manner) that he is lizard folk and his makeup also looks like what these guys looked like when they started losing their human disguise. | |

Ludicrous Gibs: After the Tobacco Force uses their cancer attack against the turtle monster, it explodes in an over-the-top shower of gore, which copiously douses the team and the onlookers. | |

Puppet Shows | |
| Smoking Causes Coughing / int_e861b43d | comment |
Puppet Shows: This film uses several kinds of puppets and practical effects: Didier is a Hand Puppet The robots are animatronic puppets. The fish that Benzène catches also seems to be one. The monsters that the Tobacco Force fight are not puppets but People in Rubber Suits. At some point a little girl looks at a video that they have made, and comments that the monster looks fake. | |
