The visual world around cigarettes has now gone full circle, from Richard Prince´s iconification of the Marlboro Man to former fashion model Barb Tarbox, dying from stage 4 terminal lung cancer and looking back at the consumer from the packaging with an empty gaze. Neverheless, the smoker keeps on passionately inhaling deadly fumes, well aware of the potential consequences.
The title page of each book includes a manually applied cigarette burn. Each copy comes in an archival polyester pocket, with a rubber stamped postcard.
