My article is called “Why Smokers Feel Good” which talks about why people the smoke cigarettes are also addicted in the sense that nicotine triggers a happy spot in their brain. This spot called the opioid flow is also the same spot triggered by heroin and morphine. In the article they talk about a study they did with six smokers in their 20’s that smoked about 14 cigarettes on a daily basis. They were not allowed to smoke for 12 hours before the test and then were given 2 non-nicotine cigarettes to smoke. Later they were given 2 cigarettes with nicotine in them and results of how they felt were recorded. The results were that many of them were happier after the 2 nicotine cigarettes and information taken from brain scans the test subjects did, the opioid flow was altered 20 to 30%.
For my project I want to incorporate of course a cigarette whether it be alone, being smoke by someone, or just being held by someone. I want to play with the smoke of the cigarette and create a really swirly motion using Illustrator. I want my design to be really colorful in order to show how happy cigarettes make cigarette smokers. Another idea was to maybe play with the brain but I don’t have to many ideas for that yet. All I know is that my photo will be a cigarette and my illustration will be the smoke or the play on the brain. The outcome will be colorful.
