This is a common idea, is the second or the third photo that I've seen with this idea, but I don't think that means you don't was creative. You've done a great composition. I liked this angle a lot.. Great photo.
Nicely framed with the bottle in the foreground - I like the composition - I wish the smoke was a little more prominent. It's very well lit - quite nice and I like the decoloring of the photo - it makes it feel like ash.
I like the use of depth of field to suggest the alcohol, yet emphasize the cigarettes, but I don't like that the cigarettes aren't as sharp as they could be.
