My mother was a heavy smoker. When my mother was dying of lung cancer in palliative care, I made a number of sketches of her. I could not look at the sketches for several years, and then I created a silkscreen about loss called "Never Easy". This animation is based on the image from that print. My mother died of lung cancer in 1993; it took me another 6 years to successfully quit smoking myself. "Buyer beware" is released under the Creative Commons Canada 2.5 license, some rights reserved.

  • My last cigarette was on June 4th at 9:30pm. Been smoke free about a month and a half. I think my favorite thing about quitting so far is the amount of energy I have these days.

  • Smoking is like killing yourself slowly. Yes, smoking is a killer...a SILENT killer that takes life in gradual and painful way. Valid medical research proved it. So, if you're one of those smokers, quit now and improve the quality of life.

  • The message was great but seeing the suffering of your mother makes it hard to like this video

  • I have been smoking around 26 years +, one and a half pack per day = 30 sticks...I stopped smoking completely just last year on Good Friday and now I'm free from nicotine...

  • Well regardless of what you're smoking, you're inhaling oxidized hydrocarbons, and that can oxidize the cells in your llungs, which causes cancer. I smoked cigarettes for 7 years and quit a year and a half ago.

  • i love smoking, i love smoking big heads with the bong and drinking beer hell yea

  • Sorry for being an idiot but...what do people get from "smoking"? for example, chocolate has -- it's nice sweet taste and caffeine. "weed" makes you feel good but smoking? is it like the same?
