In Los Angeles, the New Year is celebrated a little differently...

On Santa Monica Blvd, there is a billboard with a real-time U.S. smoking death count.

At midnight, the number is reset - this is a kind of countdown to the New Year.

Locals gather at the billboard to observe the first seconds of the new number and reflect on the harmfulness of tobacco. 🚭
