It's not big and it's not clever, so don't do it!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Bleeegh. Smoking = BAD. But it's a neat shot.

I quit just over two years ago...looking at that...I can actually smell it. BLECK! This is a great shot showing the not so cool side of it:)

I wish all kids could see it's devastating effects prior to starting. I love how you captured this.

Very nice. But I think focus is not right. It seems kind of blured to me.

@Reza: I think you're right Reza
Peter Miller from Lichfield, United Kingdom
looks terrible, the view I mean but have to agree with Reza, it appears out of focus

@Peter Miller: It is a biit off alright, I think the upload process harmed this one more than any I've seen, but it is less than sharp alright!

Great shot of a controversial subject. As an ex smoker, I too can smell and taste this picture. Good stuff.

Excellent! The point is fantastic. This is only part of the ugliness.

@Lorraine: Congrats on quitting, I haven't made that step yet!

You know how I managed, by facing the fact, that I would always, always want to smoke, and what they tell you that eventually you won't want to, well they don't explain what 'eventually means'. That was it my secret, of course I want to smoke, I'm a smoker, but Like I won't eat a box of chocolate everyday, although I would love to, I won't. I'ts a pleasure you give up willingly. Don't worry though eventually you just stop wanting one. It happens, it just takes longer then they tell you ;)
Also it took me a while because I do believe that when it's your time to go, you go, smoker or not, but why willingly poison yourself !

@Lorraine: I feel the same way, I'm gradually moving towards quitting, I keep setting myself target dates but never stick to them! Maybe some day!
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Well there you go, enjoy it while you do and don't stress about, that's a lot more dangerous than smoking lol
