Smoking is a common habit of every other person we meet, I personally don't have anything against smokers but the habit of smoking itself.
But we are not here to talk about what I like and dislike no we are not.
A cleverer solution to stop smoking was supposed to be done by us creatively, using the juxtaposition(yes, again I know, but it's so interesting) but here we are given the random word association
Drum-roll please.....
It's a traffic light!!
We are supposed to come up with an idea to stop smoking by taking the characteristics of a traffic light.
Amazing right?
As usual my brain went numb.
So I peeped into mainstream.
And found....
A commonly associated sign to no smoking:

Resolving to never do that again I start with the most prominent characteristics of a traffic light
1)Colour: it's perfect red is the colour people associate to stop... but then I remembered that people hate being told what to do, so the next colour was orange.
What if the cigarette was orange and red instead of orange and white,colours have always had a way of psychologically affecting us. This combination would hurt nobody.
Also having a green highlight on the bottom of the box saying "smoking kills the environment"
attracting their attention, but giving a positive message instead.
2) Metal: well this is kind of obvious for a signal, but to apply it to smoking was challenging. Never the less I managed to come up with something decent.
A metal frame above the cigarette box with the word's smoking kill's written on it.
Forcing the user to peel back the metal layer and read the words at the same time.

3)Sign- well a signal is a sign in all terms, but in relation to smoking dangerous signs showing damaged lungs or dead people would be a step forward.
