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.
