Smoking Kills

By Miel Van Opstal

That’s nothing new. More and more the smokers are being driven to the margin of society. Like sick cattle they’re kept apart from ‘the good ones’ of the flock. The disgusted eyes that lay upon you when you light up a ciggie and want to kick back with a smoke are increasing every day. “You’re the weak link, you’re killing yourself. You’re going to die.” Should you chose to ignore all these messages and still want to go to the crappy, smelly corner the law has left for you in the basement of the building or somewhere in a dark shed, you’ll be hunted there as well. This ambient installment tries to bring the message across that when you smoke, you’re dying. No, you’re already dead, you just don’t know it yet.

    This will do nothing but irritate smaokers. They are not oblivious to the fact that smoking is harmful. This is funny and suprising but accomplishes nothing.
