Brief Explanation
90% of italian smokers started when they were teens, because in our country smoking is cool
and is a way to been accepted by friends. The challenge was to prevent teens from starting
smoking, by demonstrating them what they are going to do to their bodies, in an effective and
shocking way, because they don't pay attention to anyone's words or warnings.
The Brief
Humanitas is an important hospital and a research facility that every year invests in smoking
prevention.
They gave us data and medical researches on smoking, and ask us to make teens aware on
smoking risks, through an innovative and involving way.
How the final design was conceived
We had four thousand cigarettes smoked through a vacuum machine, that filtered the chemicals
into water. The result was a black liquid that we used as ink to paint a unique exhibit. In order to
get teens attention we re-elaborated medical charts with the most iconic images from art history
and we used artistic metaphores to easily explain them complex concepts. The exhibit has been
designed to be a sensorial experience: thanks to its shape we made teens feel like they were
inside smokers lungs, and thanks to the special ink, we made them smell the damages.
Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market
Over 50 schools visits, 90.000 new visitors in Humanitas hospital, 4.000 workers in Tenaris Dalmine, over 1.000 in the opening during the Design Week in Milan, 25 most famous italian newspaper and 3 TV news. 160 blogs.
The exhibit, born only for teens, became an interesting experience for every age smokers and was already replicated three times until now.
