This image illustrates the fight between smokers and non-smokers. At this moment, the non-smokers had clearly won by getting a law passed to put up signs so that there are limited smoking areas. But overall, the smokers are really winning because nobody adheres to or enforces these new laws on smoking.Everywhere I go I see people smoking within that twenty-five feet barrier of buildings. This invisible force field around buildings is as preventative as sex ed classes in Jr. High.
Every aspect of this picture is added for desired effect. The camels from the "Camel" brand of cigarettes are carelessly smoking right next to the sign allegedly preventing them from doing so. This is simply mocking the law because the sign is in a desolate place, far from those choosing not to smoke. Thus, showing the smoker's opinion that it was an extreme law that is not as important as it was when it needed to be passed.
I am not a smoker but almost have to agree with the presented irony of this image.

i am SO sick of cigarette smoke. Dont get me wrong, i am all for giving people the space and understanding to do their own thing, but i cant figure out why smokers don't always have the curtosy(cant find how to spell this! ) to think about how non smokers feel. There is nothing that bothers me more then having to walk through a cloud of smoke while walking into my dorm. The laws need to be enforced, or something needs to change. Have a good day!
I hate smokers. I wish it would get banned already. It bugs the hell out of me. Plus it is the least attractive thing a girl can ever do is be a smoker.
i wish more states would adopt the "clean air act" so that smoking would be eliminated in public places. the worst is walking into and out of stores with babies and little kids and smoke blows right into their face. the smokers don't even seem to care!
