F.D.A. Unveils Graphic Warning Labels for Cigarettes

Now that tobacco is being regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, cigarette packs will depict graphics of smoking consequences filling half the front pack face. The result is an anomaly in packaging design where the product has developed a split personality that tries to seduce and deter the consumer. Hopefully, this will not be a trend that translates to other products overseen by the FDA.

Smoking Jacket

Fiona Carswell's jacket allow the wearer to politely exhale their cigarette smoke into a chamber within the jacket instead of upon unsuspecting pedestrians behind them. The tube within the jacket feeds the smoke to lung-like chambers in the front of the jacket. After a while, the lungs darken to reflect the biological effects of smoking.
