Rendez-vous #19 with ... Anonymous

Rendez-vous #19 with Anonymous
Anonymous is a young friend presently living in New York City who attended the conference organized by NYU on October 19 about E-Cigarettes: the tectonic shift in nicotine and tobacco consumption, opportunity or threat to saving lives?
She has no involvement in this field so I thought interesting to get her perspective and comments.

A good picture is worth a thousand words: 3 prints by Daumier

Today, as my next guest is a bit late returning his answers I have chosen to post three cartoons by Daumier that are about tobacco smoking. The City Council of Strasbourg has decided to prohibit smoking in public parks. That reminded me of a 1843 print by Daumier about the prohibition of smoking in the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. An original is apparently at the Art Museum in Chicago but not on display. E-cigs are included in the ban. I wonder if this decision will inspire today's cartoonists.
