Description

With college starting back in a couple of weeks, I figured I'd get back used to things, so I decided to do a typography poster. The boy in this poster is supposed to be a secondary school kid. Hope that got accross. xD

---------------

Well, smokers are all around us. Some of them don't realise how much harm it is doing to them, some of them realise it, but don't care, and some of them know it all too well, but are so addicted they can't quit no matter how hard they try.

Fact is, it's a drug, but because it is so common and socially accepted, people just don't realise it most of the time.

The thing that scares me more than anything is all those kids who start smoking at 13-15. Their friends are doing it, so they think it's cool. it lets them fit in. It's fun. The sad thing is once they grow up, most of those kids regret ever doing it.

I guess that is the main point of this poster. As long as so many people do it, and as long as the government makes so much money from it, it will never stop. How many people have to die before we wake up? How many more diseases do we have to fight.

And just for the record, I have never smoked, and never will.

Poster is cool, but about the message, you're going overboard a bit. I have started smoking as a teenager and nowadays I'm almost 30 and quit years ago just because I got bored. And what is more, many of my friends who smoked in high school do not smoke nowadays. If someone really wants to try smoking, maybe it's better to do that when one's young and gets bored with everything very quickly :D
Oh, and government does not have any profit of us smoking. Tobacco corporations do :)
BTW, you have to leave the pub to have a smoke, but having booze anywhere is OK. Alcoholism is incurable, smoking addict is. I can't hear anyone fighting alcohol. Funny, isn't it?
