The general rule in Twenty Cigarettes is that the older and more "weathered" the smoker, the more engaging and absorbing the sequence: Benning wraps up proceedings with an older lady and an older gentleman, their decades of experience visible upon their countenances (birdlike #19, Suzanne Dungan, Houston, is especially charismatic and poised), reminding us of the Hollywood dictum that the human face is the "ultimate special effect." Twenty Cigarettes may therefore indeed be, as Benning himself reckons, "about duration," but not just in the shot-length way he meansthe film is a testament of how the years alter us and how they change the way we present ourselves for the scrutiny of others
Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard, and Altria intentionally designed cigarettes to make them more addictive." "When you smoke, the nicotine actually changes the brain that's why quitting is so hard." The companies also must publish the statements on their own websites and affix them to a certain number of cigarette packs three times per year for two years
