Jake Westboro is a man with it all: a beautiful wife and child, a large house in the suburbs, and the massively-paying position of a major CEO for the Blackburn Tobacco Company. As a result of smoking since he was 15, however, Jake is now dying from the effects of the cigarettes that he once sold. An experimental surgeon, Rex Ronan, volunteers to shrink himself and a craft down to near-microscopic size, so he can travel inside of Jake's body and fight the various side effects of his smoking. However, the tobacco company is concerned that if Jake survives, he will speak to the world about the hazards of tobacco and ruin their business. This makes them secretly place microbots inside him en-masse in an attempt to stop Ronan from treating him and protect their bottom financial line.

Jake Westboro is a man with it all: a beautiful wife and child, a large house in the suburbs, and the massively-paying position of a major CEO for the Blackburn Tobacco Company. As a result of smoking since he was 15, however, Jake is now dying from the effects of the cigarettes that he once sold. An experimental surgeon, Rex Ronan, volunteers to shrink himself and a craft down to near-microscopic size, so he can travel inside of Jake's body and fight his various diseases; removing tar, nicotine, precancerous cells, and other deadly health hazards. However, the tobacco company are concerned that if Jake survives, he will speak to the world about the hazards of tobacco and accordingly ruin their business; so they secretly place microbots inside him en-masse in an attempt to stop Ronan from treating him.

True to the game's story, Rex plays through several levels each in different areas of Jake's body. Rex must use his blaster to destory various bad cells and other bad materials. Every now again the player is presented with facts about the effects of smoking cigarettes.

----
!Tropes:
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Mr. Blackburn, the CEO of Blackburn Tobacco. He even goes as far as to ''place microbots inside of Jake'' to kill Rex so he can't get well and warn the world of the dangers of tobacco.
* DrugsAreBad: Obviously, the game's entire message is that smoking is bad.
* EvilInc: Blackburn Tobacco Company wants nothing more than millions of people to start, and keep smoking.
* FantasticVoyagePlot: Rex must shrink down and go inside of jake's body to save him from the effects of cigarettes.
* SmokingIsNotCool: The message of the ''entire game'' which includes facts about what others may think of those who smoke.
* WombLevel: The ''entire game'' constitutes as a series of womb levels with the player starting in the mouth and moving through the throat, lungs, heart, and eventually to the brain.
