Smoking


The evolution of smoking imagery throughout the ages.

The Australian government has just released proposals to stop branding on all cigarette packages. Whilst the confronting imagery will remain all other identifiable details will be erased. This has stemmed some debate over whether or not they have the right to do this and whether or not in doing so they are forming an identifiable brand.

Either way this collection of images all smoking related documents the development of the perception of smoking. Admittedly a few of these photos come as quite a shock being a none smoker and through others I can see the marketing of sex appeal.
