Had a lot of ideas, most of them sexy-mysterious, but then I saw this skull on a friends table...
Shot with a cigar inside the skull...

Thanks for all of your comments!
True the background was not good, its actually a t-shirt :) obviously not ironed...
I was just in a hurry to shoot it while my smoking friends were around and with them the cigars(I don't smoke). Something dark and shiny would be my choice if I had any in my kitchen at the time...
Its not possible to make the smoke come out of the mouth, eye sockets are the only holes in the scull.

This fits well with Halloween. Creepy skull and smoke patterns. Good lighting.

The smoke should come out of the mouth for an effective anti-smoking campaign. Some sharpness would not hurt the skull I believe, as it is already dead.

Neat iamage, the lighting on the skull/smoke is great, the lighting on the table is too bright, but it is basic editing, comp is good, 7.

Wow ;) Good idea. I like it ;) But here are some weakness with execution...
Bad background - you must use some paper sheet, glass or something else sleeky. Now it is visible line of bend.
