Plot: Peter is almost fired from the toy factory for skipping work to go to a baseball game. But the El Dorado Cigarette Company takes over the toy factory and Peter is retained.
El Dorado immediately starts making toys to promote underage smoking. Lois is concerned and prods Peter to confront the management about it, but when he does, the El Dorado board makes Peter president of the toy company to distract him. Included with the new jobs are perks that make Lois forget her opposition. Brian however is not swayed, and pledges to quit smoking.
When El Dorado holds a meeting, they reason that the only way to communicate with the idiots in Congress is to send someone just as dumb, and they decide to send Peter. Lois then remembers the company's abuses, and she and Stewie follow Peter to Washington, D.C.. Peter is easily able to communicate with the congressmen. Peter prepares to deliver his speech on the floors of congress asembled, but sees Stewie in the back and he finally realizes that he has not only started smoking but has developed a hacking cough. He tells Congess to reject El Dorado's proposal, and Congress imposes a fine of infinity billion dollars, but lowered it to a more realistic fine of one hundred million dollars on the company for promoting underage smoking.
