Belgian photographer Frieke Janssen created a social project "The beauty of a bad habit" ("The beauty of an ugly addiction"), in which she showed "smoking" children aged 4 to 9 years. This photo series was called scandalous, and the photographer was accused of promoting smoking. However, let's not rush to conclusions, but try to think about the problems that Fricke wanted to raise.

Fricke got the idea for the project after watching a video about a two-year-old Indonesian boy smoking 40 cigarettes a day.
