Answer 1

I'm about as GREEN as anyone I know, but I find negative to be a turn off, maybe more so in your idea.

   Obviously the notion is to raise the global consciousness, even one mind at a time, but you hardly have a chance to GRAB those who aren't considering the longer term effect, and many only care as far out as their own lifetime anyway. Beyond that, a smoker and his actions only might critically affect him, not the planet.

   More to the point might be simple ads, such as one company uses,,,BRITA,,, water filters, showing something,,, stating a time span, then a plastic water bottle, IN OUR LAND FILLS FOREVER.

   Saving or helping the planet recover is certainly a noble cause we should all take up, most especially those of us with children who have children and will endure far more than we may live to see.

   Long ago, a not so subtle environmental ad showed a Native American, sometimes along side a highway, with trash blowing around.

   Obviously as a species we have a lot of faults, but negative, in ones face, suggestions, might take longer to sink in, than addressing the positives of a cleaner planet. No offense to you at all, but a poster alluding to ones death, by any means, hardly makes a positive impact. Even NON smokers can step in front of a moving Bus, polluting the atmosphere and be killed.

Answer 2

Choose words not weapons.

Answer 3

How about showing the man smoking and tosses the butt.  It starts smoking in the grass and right before things burn really bad, someone rushes in and tosses water on it.  The other person looks at the man and shakes his head.  You hear someone say "The earth doesn't have to smoke too!"

Answer 4

"red is the new green......it will be if we don't do anything."

red or even black symbolize negative energy.
