Don't Kill Me

Arul, Locomotor Disability, June 2025

“Don’t Kill Me” is a powerful appeal to smokers.

Due to his medical condition, cigarette smoke has a harmful impact on Arul’s lungs. Even second-hand smoke can seriously affect his health.

Through this artwork, Arul calls for:

  • Smokers to stop smoking

  • Greater awareness of second-hand smoke

  • Respect for vulnerable individuals in shared spaces

The work is not confrontational - it is a plea for consideration and compassion.

“I cannot walk away from smoke easily. Please do not smoke around me.”

Arul is an Indian male artist with locomotor disability. He uses a wheelchair for mobility and creates art that reflects his lived experiences and personal advocacy.
