Props - Cigarette

Above, is a picture of a cigarette, which my group will be using in order to represent death, in a sub-plot to our original idea. What we will be doing is switching to a scene of the cigarette burning out every so often, in order to indicate that death is approaching. 

There are obvious risk assessments towards this, which involve the smoke that comes out of the cigarette. It can affect the lungs in a serious way, so we will ensure that when filming the cigarette burning out, everyone can be away from it, and the camera will be secure on the tripod while filming. 

Note: I took this picture myself.
