It looks like the focus might be on the back side of the ashtray or maybe there is some motion blur here Debi but the smoke still looks good. Now STOP SMOKING! :-D CJ

Debi, we here in the US are such reformed-smokers that feel guilty for promoting cigarette smoking by our major companies. Now, this image which I myself can relate to fondly from decades ago seems not so comfortable. But I can remember so well until we here were reeducated. -tv

I agree with John. Very Disturbing. Recently lost my aunt to throat cancer and my baby sister is going through radiation for lung cancer. BOTH were directly attributed to cigarette smoking. Of course, seeing the clean ashtray and apparently unsmoked cigarette (ash still intact), maybe it's just a photograph! :) ~ Henry

Nice job capturing both the smoke undisturbed simultaneously with the red burn. Unfortunately/fortunately, we have had such a strong anti-smoking campaign in the Dallas area for the last 5 years (now banned in almost all public places except where alcohol is 50% of their revenue), that I find the picture disturbing.
