America Doesn't Like Herman Cain's Chief Of Staff Mark Block To Smoke Cigarettes, So He Gives Them Up In New Parody

(PRWEB) October 31, 2011

Amidst the scrutiny of the new Herman Cain for President YouTube ad featuring his campaign Chief of Staff Mark Block smoking a cigarette defiantly while staring into the camera, a new parody has been created by SmokeStik, the electronic cigarette choice of Hollywood. Starring the actor/ comedian John Ennis of HBO's "Mr. Show" and "Malcolm in the Middle" fame, as Mark Block who continues his defiance in a new way as the comedic new video picks up where the first one leaves off.

Herman Cain told CBSs Face the Nation, on Sunday, "But what I respect about Mark as a smoker, who is my chief of staff, he never smokes around me or smokes around anyone else. He goes outside. Apparently those days are over for Mr. Block in the new parody who tells us that he wants to smoke on video and everywhere else including in your house! Mark Block wants to take back America and its bars all while blowing smoke rings.

The video was created by the Hollywood based advertising agency Forza Migliozzi to highlight the benefits of SmokeStik compared to cigarettes.

Kay Lorraine, Vice President of Marketing for SmokeStik says it's products will eliminate the scrutiny that smokers like Mark Block are subjected to allowing it's customers "to the savor the sensation of smoking without the smell, second hand smoke and tar. We will gladly provide Mr. Block with all he needs to get started and get himself "United" with the country again."

SmokeStik is a revolutionary device that resembles a traditional cigarette, and re-creates the pleasures of smoking, including simulated "smoke", without the tobacco, tar, odor, and many of the chemicals that are found in a traditional cigarette.

SmokeStik is endorsed and used by such Hollywood notables as Dennis Quaid, Josh Henderson, Daniel Sunjata and Katherine Heigl, who gave David Letterman a SmokeStik tutorial on the Late Show when they enjoyed "a smoke" together, last year.

SmokeStik is available at select retailers and on the web at http://www.SmokeStik.com.
