Skull With Cigarette – by Chris Jordan
December 17th, 2007 : by Rainey
Part of a series where Chris is looking at problems in the U.S. where he assigns images to some data – 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption), etc. Based on a painting by Van Gogh, this image depicts 200,000 packs of cigarettes, equal to the number of Americans who die from cigarette smoking every six months.

Im kinda amaze of this art cause it involves the awareness of saying that if you dont stop smoking this maybe the result of it. your “death”. I think this will open the eyes of many cigarette smokers out there.
