What year is the anti-smoking commercial from?

It's an anti-smoking commercial starring Rob when he was younger, for some reason I can't find a date on it. I remember seeing it years ago. It looks to me judging by his age and the style of the extras, circa 1996 maybe? Anyone know for sure?

I am pretty sure it's from mid 90's.. I'm on a mission to find out now. I was born in '85 and now I used to see it while in school, so it wasn't the 80's. They'd show it during this Channel 1 news show (show for kids/students).. so I want to say between 94-98.

It was from the early 90's or late 80's. I actually remember that commercial, but I did'nt realize it was him until I re watched it a year ago on youtube.

The only way it could even touch the 80's is if they kept replaying it for years later.. like i said , born in '85 and i know i saw it either in middle school or high school.. probably middle school.

I know the commercial, I remember seeing it, and I think it was from like 1987.

You're right! It's from the mid 90s, I read a article on it. He got young roles when he was 19, on the account that he looked really young.

He would have been 10 then you *beep* He said on the Marc Maron show he started getting gigs and commercial work around 19 and up because he looked old enough to be a teenager (in TV/movie land) so yes, the commercial his mid 90's and 1996 or around there is right.
