The title is from Pink Floyd's "Dark side of the Moon", maybe the best album ever :)
Hopefully, some Pink Floyd fans will hear the song coming out of the speaker on the picture.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

I like the expressoin on the face and the extrordinarily long ash on the cigarette. The harsh shadow from the flash distracts from the composition and the soft focus makes some of the better details mushy.
Could be more in focus and less orange on the left side of the picture. Needs to be brightned up. But yes a very bad habit. And the white square to the left of his head is distracting along and the metal piece.
shouldnt have done this on a white background with that angle. I had to search for what the purpose of the picture is... cant see the cigarette or the smoke...
Cool idea for a photo. Needs work though, pose, lighting, sharpness could use some tweaking. Small changes could make this photo jump right out at you...
Bad use of a smoking person. It almost seems like something that would be in a cigarette advertisement, especially with that title. I am sorry, but this is bad form and goes against the rules, escpeially with all the talk on the forums leading up to this challenge due date.
Other then that, there is a flash shadow that could have not been in the shot with additional lighting. The background is rather dry and uninteresting.
shadow on wall because of flash is annoying. The speaker on wall (I guess) does not add much value to the picture. You could have captured some smoke in picture by reducing light.
