The only dragon who said 'no' to nicotine — and yes to being a legend.
While all the other dragons are puffing away, one dragon refuses to smoke. They all think he's totally square and a number of them challenge him to fights, races, and arm-wrestling contests. As he defeats them all with his clean lungs and nicotine-free body, they begin to think that maybe he's the cool one after all.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during the height of the Surgeon General's first smoking warnings, this was part of a wave of bizarre animated PSAs that treated kids like they could be peer-pressured by dragons.
Howard Morris (voice work) later became famous as Ernest T. Bass on The Andy Griffith Show, making this his weirdest dragon-related credit until, well, forever.
