About

Throughout his career Martin Parr has captured daily life as it really is and as you sift through the archives it is rather difficult to not stumble upon a cigarette, cigar, pipe or – in recent years – a dreaded vape. So, with murmurs of the United Kingdom banning the purchase of tobacco by anyone born after 2009, no time seems more ideal to offer up a typically Parr commentary on society’s ever-changing relationship with smoking. This survey of smoking culture is edited & designed by Sid Stephenson and published by The Rocket Press in a limited edition of 750 numbered copies, supported by DMB Represents.
