Have you seen some of these painted ceilings in your home-town? As you might have guessed, the idea of this anti-smoking campaign is to drive attention and shock. Murals are painted on ceilings in smoking rooms, giving you impression you are inside the grave, and when you look up, you see the burial from the dead man's point of view. Open this article for more simmilar pictures.
I used to be a smoker and while these images are cool, they wouldn't have made any difference to me as a smoker. People don't quit because of clever gimmicks or those stupid anti-smoking campaign commercials.

With an open roof, the guys on top will soon fall in bcoz of all that passive smoking...
CHIC, and others who say smokers are bad... learn to let people live their lives how they want to.

It might not make someone QUIT smoking, but anti-smoking campaigns are really effective at keeping people from STARTING, and isn't THAT the most effective way to 'quit?' (To never start in the first place?) We do need to start somewhere, and starting with the next generation of 'would-be smokers' is the best place!! Besides, they are just too clever to bad-mouth.

... that would freak me into wanting a smoke to be honest Just talking with a friend "Oh no buddy.. looks like we're dead" -he points up- "Gah! I need a cig."

it is a stupid idea because it will make more peapole want to go in the smoking room to see the roof.

I totally agree with what Ray(4) and Robert(1) said.

Saskkat,
I am a Smoker, and I have to admit If I saw that I would be looking for some place else to smoke, or be butting out in a big hurry. That would be creeping me out big time. Very effective. They out to have that everywhere Makes you think BIG TIME.

I wouldn't say this is too shocking. It's just impressive. So impressive I need a smoke :)
wat lesson exactly am i suppose to be learning here. i understand the CONCEPT behind the SHOCK value. but those murals do nothing for or to me. the move me not one iota. ima smoke because im over 18 and can make decision for myself. IMA BIG GIRL :) as a deterrent to teens maybe but death is a INEVITABLILIY that most adults have come to terms with. you can get cancer just by being in the sun too long remember, or standing in front of the microwave.

I like the thought of doing this. but, I do not smoke though I have friends that do.

i really dont think it will have much of an effect on the smokers. they would just be all like, "hey look at that cieling. pretty cool"
meeow
I agree with Pandas

This will not keep people from starting as people who have seen it will most probably have already started. They're in smoking rooms remember.
seriously, what is the deal with smoking. People need to realize that people have in dividual rights and freedoms. I know many of you aren't from America and can have the same freedoms we have. People need to stop trying to ban smoking in America, our country was built on the principles of INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. I know a bunch of flaming liberals are going to disagree and say," Second hand smoke kills!" I know this is true, many tests have been done to prove this. Then just leave. People need to start learning to respect peoples rights and freedoms instead of doing random stuff like this to try and limit the freedoms we already have.
omg this wasnt meant to cause an argument. this was a cool illusion. calm down people.
annoyed. very annoyed
Just wanted to say some things...
1. To "anonymous" no.31 at 8:03 pm, I grovel at your feet, O Mighty American, for I have none of your wonderful rights! Wake up, and you might notice that you don't have all the 'freedom' you think you do. And 'flaming liberals'? -Ouch.
2. To "ana-may", Microwaves DONT give you cancer, without sunlight we would all DIE and smoking can KILL you a hundred different ways besides cancer.
But hey, death is an 'inevitabilily', so we might as well all kill ourselves now, right?
I'm not saying you guys cant smoke. I just reckon it's really, really dumb tell others it is not a bad thing.
That's all. Hope someone actually reads this...

I think this is quite sick. First, you shouldn't tell people what is and what isn't good for them, and then to add a shock-effect like this, it's just sick. I like the paintings themselfs, but as a campaign against smoking, I think it's quite sick.
