To smoke or not to smoke?

I went to Tohaku for a Tottori JET orientation yesterday. It was mostly a waste of a day, but I did take the following two pictures.



This is a poster found in the Urayasu JR station. I have seen anti-tobacco posters like this all over trains and train stations in Japan. The arrangement and the English translations of the descriptions next to the pictures are oddly poetic (I will write them out in case they can`t be read on your browser):

"I moved to avoid him.
But my smoke didn`t."

"Cigarette smoke is wider
than a human body."

"A cigarette but tossed in a puddle absorbs
water and becomes hundreds of pieces of trash."

"In summertime,
the arms that pass
near my lit cigarette
are bare."

The funniest and most ironic thing about this poster, is that it is placed right next to a cigarette vending machine.
