It's an addiction, not a habit
Darren
Anyone who's ever smoked and then stopped, don't talk lightly about this issue. You are a smoker once, you will be one for the rest of your life. After 10-15 years of having quit smokin, a smoker still craves for a ciggie and has dreams about smoking.
And it's easy for nonsmokers to say "how disgusting, nasty habbit, bl**dy stinky, why don't you just quit!?"
These images are fantastic though, Hiker, and very true. It is not a good thing for anyone. Not any worse though, than drinking, smoking pot, snorting coke or eating junk. It's just the smokers who always make everyone talk.
Brilliant set of photos Ami and an interesting/thought provoking theme for street photos.
I'm also liking the PP aging effects too.

It's an interesting theme Ami and for the most part you've done a good job with the processing. I find the last photo a bit disturbing though....

well you got that right.....ugly habit.
I can relate to that but also because the friends and family around also " share" ..in more ways than one . I actually dont think anyone will " tell you " to quit, after all, we all have our pet vices some worse than othersAmi, spot on - if the ones where you have "aged" the ladies could be put into a more public arena you may have saved lots of lives. Its one of my pet hates.
Youve got me guessig there...I had a major operation when I was young (Senu's ears light up - PM me)
Wish i could say Im that careful but Good health is very precious and much harder to " revert to, once one no longer has itand have had a fairly careful life, never smoked, don't drink, never been near drugs although I do like a bit of coke now and then (the one with the cola at the end of it ). My only vices are food, my camera and my cars. Might be considered an old fogey but I am happy that way and will always stay like it.
A seriously good Idea.. Ami does have inspiring Pics , and her PP is top notch.. some of the images do maker you pause for though thoughAs always, love your pictures - when can we have an AV street day in London with Ami as our instructeress !
