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.

This...this shot is amazing! It's extremely detailed, outstanding in creativity, just all around amazing! It doesn't deter me from smoking but it is still an amazing shot!

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!
