A lot of people have asked where it came from. Perhaps I should change it from 'mural' to 'poster'. Kali, thanks for your research. A lot of people have asked where it came from.

I am an artist and I highly doubt that picture is a mural. Photoshop with imagination is more like it. Final word: 100% FAKE photo. Nice try, though. ;) Uh.

Also known as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), it can be recognized easily by its distinctive odor. ETS contaminates the air and is retained in clothing, curtains and furniture. Many people find ETS unpleasant, annoying, and irritating to the eyes and nose. More importantly, it represents a dangerous health hazard. Over 4,000 different chemicals have been identified in ETS, and at least 43 of these chemicals cause cancer.

As to Samuel's comment that people shouldn't be smoking inside, claims about the hazards of second hand smoke are vastly overrated. The one EPA study touted by the cancer groups as proving second hand smoke is a health risk was thrown out by the courts as invalid because it contained hand picked results and gross manipulation of data.

I don't think they should be smoking inside anyway. 2. If I were a smoker I would not choose that breakroom to smoke in. I would feel a little self-conscience. Two comments:
