Documenting Young Smokers

Through my study, I was able to compare and research the foundation of a rise in teenage smoking. As I explored into media and was particularly struck by the amount of pictures and videos that glamorised smoking. For example, this photograph of actress Keira Knightley was featured in a fashion magazine. Whilst it represents smoking as retro and cool, the picture does nothing to bring to the attention of the audience the dangers to smoking on health.
