Thanks wendy :) I was thinking of only putting one in the middle skeleton's mouth. What do you think of that? :)

Yeah, that's what I thought you had in mind, Alistair! ;)

I think that one in each of the 3 mouths might be "overkill" [confused] ... unless you "faded out" the other 2 skinny guys? Just a thought... but then you'll play around with it and try various compositions.

And what I do like about the composition of the finished piece (as I see it in my mind) is the "contrast" between the B+W skeletons and the colourized "cancer stick"! ;)

:rofl: like that. But, the area im workin in is in grayscale, so should i flatten that, put it into a new coloured window, and then just make the cig coloured? [confused]

and by putting only one cigarette in the middle skeleton's mouth, you're also demonstrating the effects of second-hand smoke ;) ;) well thought ;) ;)

Yeah Alistair... just turn your greyscale file into RGB! ;) You don't need to flatten your layers, either.

Image/Mode/RGB Color :D

Why not put it inside out, and have the smoke come out of the sockets?

You mean have the cig smoked the opposite side, and smoke comes out of the skeleton's eye sockets and every other hole? :D :rofl: I love it!!! :rofl:
