……………………………………………………..
Cigarette smoking is a controversial issue and smoking means different things to different people. Some love it, some hate it and some love to hate it, which explains the enduring popularity of SmokeVision. This documentary series has been inspired in part by the curious enigma of women smoking and in part by these publications on smoking: "Smoke: A Global History of Smoking" and "Cigarettes Are Sublime" and "Seductive Smoke"
SmokeVision is a website with several documentary series, featuring people who have chosen to accept the well documented risks associated with smoking, indeed who often flaunt this danger for their personal enjoyment but this does not imply that it is an activity others should follow. This publication is not intended to be in anyway comprehensive, promotional or educational.
This publication presents a collection of visual imagery on smoking in society, as typically seen in public in today's western society. The views recorded and discussed are simply a representation of the personal activity of the participants at the time of recording.
Our website and publications also use stock content licensed from Evanto, iStock, VideoBlocks and others as detailed in the relevant video shows.
Our video documentaries use musical works licensed from AVP, Evanto, Digital Juice Library, Shockwave, VideoBlocks, ccMixter, Daniel Johns as detailed in various video episodes.
