As a European (just barely) I have to say Diane is right. There is a wide difference in the way we look at smoking as opposed to Americans. Everyone knows it's bad for them, the taxes are oppressive, and everyone is going to quit "tomorrow" but it's not such a big issue over here. Sure, you can't smoke in cinemas or on public transport, but there's not the (oh, how can I describe this without being too offensive) "panic-reaction" (grin) amongst non-smokers when a smoker lights a cigarette. Your image is likely to provoke more of a reaction amongst Americans than it is Europeans. But, either way, it's a very well done picture. Paul
