"Smoking Celebrities: Glamour or Health Hazard?"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Guardian

The Museum of Smoking, curated by Viviana Olen and Matt Harkins, celebrates iconic moments in smoking history from the 1990s to the 2010s, featuring celebrities like Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Paris Hilton. The exhibit, a tongue-in-cheek love letter to the habit, showcases black-and-white portraits, paparazzi shots, and campy smoking memorabilia. While the curators do not advocate smoking, they acknowledge the allure and cool factor associated with the habit. The exhibit has sparked controversy for glamorizing a deadly habit, but it aims to capture the shared human experience of smoking.
