  • A Laoseng minority woman carries her baby whilst smoking tobacco in her home in the remote and roadless village of Ban Phouxom, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR, Ban Phouxom is situated along the Nam Ou river (a tributary of the Mekong) and will be relocated and joined with three other Laoseng villages following the construction of the Nam Ou Cascade Hydropower Project Dam 5.

It is a place where children play and families bathe, where men fish and women wash their clothes. But this river and others like it, that are the lifeline of rural communities and local economies are being blocked, diverted and decimated by dams. The Lao government hopes to transform the country into “the battery of Southeast Asia” by exporting the power to Thailand and Vietnam.

  • Stacks of cigarette cartons are piled up in a display of duty free goods at Bahrain International airport .

  • In evening city mist, a car park attendant stands guard over his downtown Atlanta parking lot. Next to him is a giant billboard for Marlboro with the classic face of the Marlboro cowboy, depicted drawing on a cigarette and wearing the traditional wide-brimmed stetson. They are low in the frame and the gloomy and eerie mist sits oppressively around the tall buildings, obscuring their top floors. Office lights still burn and a bright street light shines with the intensity of a small solar flare. The Marlboro Man is part of a tobacco advertising campaign for Marlboro cigarettes. The Marlboro Man was first conceived by the Leo Burnett agency in 1954. The image involves a rugged cowboy or cowboys, in nature with only a cigarette. The ads were originally conceived as a way to popularize filtered cigarettes, which at the time were considered feminine. Actor and author William Thourlby is said to have been the first Marlboro Man. The models who portrayed the Marlboro Man were New York Giants Quarterback Charley Conerly, New York Giants Defensive Back Jim Patton, Darrell Winfield, Dick Hammer, Brad Johnson, Bill Dutra, Dean Myers, Robert Norris, Wayne McLaren, David McLean and Tom Mattox. Two of them, McLaren and McLean, died of lung cancer.

  • Striking a light in an outdoor café, a young businessman puts a match to his cigarette as a colleague talks in Frankfurt.  Cupping his hand over the lit end, against a shrill wind, the man inhales the nicotine-rich smoke to enjoy another cigarette. On the table in front, an empty glass of German Pilsener, its froth still clinging to the sides of the glass showing that this otherwise healthy gentleman is abusing his body with the addictive tobacco and the thirst-quenching taste of fine beer that has a high percentage of alcohol and rich in carbohydrates. He is smartly dresses, with cufflinks, a good watch and neat hair. In the background are other drinkers and their glasses on tables at this sociable street corner in the city’s financial district, a symbolic powerhouse of economic recovery that Germany built in the post-war era.

  • Three models pose in a market square near Budapest, two holding advertising merchandising for Marlboro Lights, a promotion for those recently emerging from the former Communist to taste the delights of this western cigarette. The US tobacco company Philip Morris manufactures this brand and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, those living in former eastern-bloc nations created a vast new market that opened up potential income for the ambitious cigarette industry - just as it has in China and African countries. In this town square, people pass-by and sit in cafes before the three women take their product to the masses, handing out free cigarettes to tempt smokers and perhaps future smokers.

  • A small group of men are together on the beach just opposite to Ocean Drive on Miami Beach. Two of them are in the foreground and each wear sun glasses, each holding cigars that may be Cuban in origin, a popular source of tobacco leaf in this region of America. They have recently been immersed in the sea and water drips down their rather flabby bodies with the gentleman on the left sucking on his cigar with a belly that expands around his tanned midriff. It is intensely bright, sunny day on the sand, seen behind. Flash has emphasized the water drips and the male sweat and we also see a very clear blue tropical sky.

The man is overweight and leads an unhealthy lifestyle, his chin overlapping his striped shirt. The cigar is held at the tips of two fingers and we can see in profile the billowing of a smoky cloud  from the man's lips.

Puffing guiltily on their fags that have sought a dark place on the pavement beneath some shelter although it is warm enough for two of the men to wear only shirts and ties while the only lady present is in a jumper. One member of the group draws heavily on his cigarette, a sign of his addiction and enjoyment of taking a five or ten-minute pause from his office job. A recent report showed smokers each lose an average of 30 minutes a day from their  workplaces to satisfy their habit. The average smoker takes at least three breaks from the office, each lasting around 10 minutes, research for the Benenden Healthcare Society found. The healthcare group estimates that 290,000 working days are being lost by people leaving their office to smoke.

  • An after-work Christmas party at Coates Wine Bar on London Wall (street) gathers energy after nine o'clock pm at a table near the bar. A group of three girls sing along to a karaoke machine while one of the three sticks out her tongue towards her friend. They are each drinking glasses of white wine and two packets of Marlboro and one of Silk Cut cigarettes lies on the table surrounded by their handbags and other possessions including a camera. There are other people in the background including two men at the bar and a man on his own edging past with a cigarette in his right hand. It is a gloomy place to party with little artificial light to colour (color) the scene. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

  • A bucket (pale) of smokers' cigarette butts have been extinguished in a London back street alleyway. Stubbed out in sand to prevent them reigniting for safety reasons, the fags (English slang for cigarettes) echo the steel pegs on the ground. A single packet is also in the bucket at the rear entrance of a London restaurant. Catering staff takes a break from long hours working inside and smoke. The UK government say each year smoking causes 80,000 deaths, costing the National Health Service (NHS) £2.7bn. Just 22% of Britons are smokers - down from 27% at the end of the 1990s - and two-thirds say they would like to give up.

  • Seen from slightly behind, a young woman stands taking shelter from early evening rain in Goodge Street, London England. Holding a lit cigarette in her left hand and with an unused ashtray to her right, she is chatting with friends who are also enjoying a relaxing hour after work. Under the UK Government's recent laws on smoking in public places, the work mates are forced outside the pub to smoke on the street in a special area away from the anti-smoking people indoors. Lit by glowing red lights that also provide warmth on this chilly January night, the friends are comfortable in their own company.
