Wish I had seen this photo when I was 18 years old. I smoked 25 years and quit cold turkey. It is horribly addictive.

Wow ! I work as a nurse in the pneumology department (respiratory medecine) and this image is just stunning !! It's telling exactly in one shot what we're trying to tell our patients ! I always loved your work but this one is related to both my passion: photography and my adorable patients with a lung disease !!

Powerful image! It may help me in my efforts to quit, although having smoked for forty years, I kinda wonder whether it will make any difference.

I am, what we call, gobsmacked!! By far the best photo attempting to deter smokers that I have ever seen, or that I am likely to see. Absolutely outstanding!
