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.

Orzhov represent! And mad thanks to MtG Shirts for the crazy awesome shirt I’m wearing! Just finishing a smoke before I pull these bodies out of the back of the van and take them into the basilica. Just doing the divine work. The work never ends... especially when jokers on Ravnica think they can take down a soul-siphoning cleric such as myself on All Hallow’s Eve. I pity the fools!

Again, thank you MtG Shirts!

“Magic the Gathering” [cigarette case] by San Jaya Prime

Far too many countries have launched campaigns to cover up cigarette branding with ineffectual plain packages: Australia, France, and the United Kingdom already at the forefront. Artists and smokers are striking back, designing their own cigarette cases, such as the one right here.
