Burn as One

Smoking has been used in art long before big tobacco, and well before
the anti-smoking movement. In the modern era, the cigarette has come to
symbolize sex and the cigar machismo. Holmes brought pipe smoking to the
intellect and the hookah will forever symbolize the exotic. It's no
coincidence that one rebel after another has had smoking attached to
their image. Non-smokers often use it in their art (no matter whether
models, photographers or painters). The symbolism carried in smoke
simply has no easy replacement. Whether you're FOR smoking or AGAINST
it, this is a space for smoking in the arts.
