This social stamp uses strong and surreal symbolism to raise awareness of public health. Hatem El Mekki contrasts the smoke of a cigarette with a spectral silhouette whose orbits are occupied by skulls, directly evoking the mortal dangers of tobacco. The bilingual slogan “Tobacco or health: the choice is yours” places Tunisian citizens face to face with their individual responsibility. This broadcast is part of major national medical prevention campaigns, illustrating the Tunisian State's commitment to the protection of human capital and health education of the population.
