Anti Smoking Mugs
Description: The Lorillard tobacco company launched its youth smoking prevention campaign, “Tobacco is whacko if you're a teen," in 1999, with advertising in teen magazines and on cable television. Like with most anti-anything campaigns, teens found the campaign to be laughable and were roundly mocked for their absurdity. Such advertisements were not unique to US television, as similar youth smoking prevention campaigns ran in Asia, Australia, Europe, and Latin America.
Description: Smoking head … or head smoker? This picture expresses how I used to feel about being addicted to cigarettes. I was a pretty heavy smoker — at least as hooked as the person in the picture. I was morphing into a cigarette. The original artwork is ink and gouache on paper, now over 30 years old — and it shows, slightly. The paper isn't a perfect rectangle, and any such inconsistencies in the print are a faithful reproduction of the original artwork, not production errors. I gave up smoking a long time ago. Giving the baccy the boot: one of life's (very few) great achievements.
