First Impression - the most important one: Its a pity I am an ex-smoker .. I can still smell the stuff.
Composition: Works for this picture.
Subject: meets the challenge well and truly.
Technical (Colour and light): Great colour and good use of DOF ... I like that the fags in the background are out of focus as this gives a great impression of trying to quit and failing.
To grow its vote?: hard to say .. this type of shot works for some and not others ...
Summary: I think this is a great second entry .. you have a good eye .. keep using it.

Try out a b&w version too.
Nice DoF brings out the subject from the backgroung.
I would have left more place on the left and not put the cigarette in the middle, I think it would be more comfortable for the eye.
Great composition and nice lighting. I also like the depth of field use, but I'd really like to see the back of the ash tray focused and the cig pack left out of focus. I know...too picky. Nice capture and great concept.
