Guaranteed to Look Twice: Powerful Photos of 2 Year Olds Smoking

Don’t view this as endorsement of kids smoking, tobacco or any of that shiznit. But these photos will make you look twice, guarenteed. Regardless of if it’s social, political or commercial, or otherwise, it’s very effective art. This is smart, powerful, horrible.

This photo series “The Beauty of an Ugly Addiction” is Photographer Frieke Janssens’ response to nicotine addiction and new smoking laws. She asks, “does this ban treat adults like children who can’t willfully decide whether or not to partake in this horribly harmful habit? What is it about smoking, aside from the obvious addictive content, that draws people in? Is it its image from film noir? Is it the appeal of its performative consumption, that mannerism or pose that seems to imbue a smoker with a particular sort of character?”

Can’t argue that you’ll stop and look. Tell me what you think in the comments. Then check out this sort of surreal behind the scenes video is here:

    Movie star and singer Patrick Bruel seemed to be one of France’s biggest stars throughout the ’90s, first making their name as
    a teen idol and leading a return to traditional French
    chanson inside new millennium. Bruel was created Patrick Benguigui with Tlemcen, Algeria, on, may 14, 1959.
    The father abandoned the family unit when Patrick was simply a year old,
    and 1962, after Algeria gained its independence, his mummy moved to France, deciding from the
    Paris suburb connected with Argenteuil. An excellent soccer player within the youth, Patrick first decided
    upon the idea of being singer having seen Michel Sardou perform in 1975.

    As good fortune could have it, acting would bring him his first good results; first-time overseer Alexandre Arcady ran an advertising seeking a fresh man with a French-Algerian (or “pied-noir” in German slang) accent for his motion picture
    Le Coup de Sirocco. Benguigui (as he was still called) responded and gained
    the part. The following year, he spent some time in New York City, where he
    fulfilled Gérard Presgurvic, later to become his primary composer.
