7. QUIT SMOKING
It is important that everyone should know
that smoking is harmful and for extreme
situation it may cause serious illness. The
motive behind this piece is to expose the
people to the unseen effects of smoking
on a person’s health.

8. QUIT SMOKING
3D Installation

State that a smoker may look
physically healthy but not inside

9. Concepts
Physical Appearance
First impression
Visual preference
Self perception
 Verbal Messages

10. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
 The contrasting physical appearance is used
to distinguish the lungs of the two types;
smokers and non-smokers.
 The smoker’s lung is depicted as the dirtier,
more damaged-looking lung whereas the
non-smoker’s lung is depicted as bright,
clean ad healthy.
 Non-verbal communication is used in this
context to provide a visual form to
communicate the differences between the
two lifestyles.

11. FIRST IMPRESSION
The first scene that strikes the
viewer’s eye is the contrasting
condition between the two lungs.
Viewers are disgusted by the lung
on the left, as opposed to the
healthy lung on the right.
Through the slogan, viewers then
realize these are lungs belonging to
two different people, the smoker
and the non-smoker.

12. VERBAL COMMUNICATION
The slogan sends the message, while
the visual of the deteriorated lung
reinforces it in the viewer’s mind.
Forces smokers to re-evaluate their
habits by reminding them about the
effects of smoking that they cannot
see (“healthy on the outside, but not
inside”).

13. VISUAL PREFERENCE
The first response of the viewer
toward the mural is disgust toward the
smoker’s lung, preferring the healthier
looking non-smoker’s lung.
The visual preference of the viewer
towards the healthy lung discourages
the viewer to smoke, wanting to relate
to the image of their healthy, non-smoker’s
lung.

14. SELF-PERCEPTION
The image of the smoker’s lung makes the
viewer (especially smokers) reflect on their
habits, giving them a glimpse of what could be
happening to their lungs that they cannot see.
Smokers in particular are alerted to the fact that
while they may look and feel healthy, the real
effects are the ones that they cannot see.
This self-reflection encourages smokers to stop
smoking.
