Title:
Bienvenue Dans Une Monde Sans Tabac: Fumer, C'est Pas Ma Nature
(normal size jpg)

Description:
This poster from the Health Education Committee of France illustrates a tactic commonly used in recent anti-smoking advertisements--the appropriation of some of the most iconic images of tobacco ads. In this case, the familiar photograph of the cowboy, associated with both cigarette smoking and masculinity through years of Marlboro advertisements, is given new meaning through its text. Instead of using the image to promote cigarette smoking, the headline reads, unexpectedly, "Welcome to a world without tobacco."
