Smoking has been on the decline ever since its adverse health issues surfaced but only a few decades ago it was commonplace and considered to be fashionable and sophisticated. Smoking posters capture that era through photography and artwork of famous people such as the Rat Pack and other celebrities with cigarettes. It also led to the creation of many vintage posters advertising
cigars and
cigarettes. Some of the more contemporary smoking art is humorous and whimsical. This type of smoking poster art is tasteful and artistic and great for decorating a man cave, bar, game room, smoking room or other venues frequented by men.
Of course, the more modern prints are all about discouraging smoking and FramedArt.com has a number of
No Smoking artwork to choose from that would be great to include in public places such as restrooms, office lobbies and other common areas.
Smoking posters are not so much about the act of smoking but more about the art associated with smoking. Prints of cigar and cigarette labels are prime examples of such artwork where no one is featured smoking. Instead, the artwork has portraits of women, historic figures such as presidents, flowers, animals or other subjects that reflect the brand name of the product.
