Smoking and childhood intersect in Frieke Janssens’s visual exploration, capturing the unsettling image of children with cigarettes. The photographs reveal a stark confrontation between innocence and adult habits, creating a provocative tension that challenges the viewer’s perceptions.

Smoking Kids is a concise photobook published by Uitgeverij Luster in 2013, containing 38 pages that focus tightly on this theme. Janssens’s approach presents these images without overt judgment, instead prompting reflection on cultural taboos and the complex messages around youth and addiction.
