Younger Smokers

: Kate Zorichak: Emily, 16, has been smoking for one year. “I don’t know why I started, just something to do I guess…you don’t have to show my face in the picture do you?”

: Regina Rahill: Matt, 15, smoking his first, and him mom hopes, last cigarette.

Older Smokers

Jared Gruenwald: “I’ve actually just started smoking. I was never a cigarette smoker but in my line of business everyone smokes cigars, that business being affluence, of course,” chuckled 44 year old stockbroker Walter Kiley. “A fine cigar is the token of the rich man, and I feel it’s my duty to smoke them.”

Free Selection

: Erin Edwards: Roderick, 25, a resident director at Temple Towers, has been smoking for about ten years. He says he started out of curiosity and now he just does it out of habit.

: Jared Gruenwald: “I feel as if society has cast aside smokers. No longer are we free to pollute the air without being subject to ridicule. We smokers are slowly becoming second-class citizens. I can’t even smoke in my apartment,” said a disgruntled Dan Conway. “I’m 21 years old and I have been a smoker for 9 years. I can’t remember why I started, boredom I guess, but I can’t stop now. I’m a victim and am being treated like the enemy.”
