No Smoking

30x22 watermedia (acrylic and gouache) plus torn paper collage on some of the main figure and background. I had done the entire piece in gouache then added acrylic and small amounts tissue paper collage and the composition just did not work.  So today I tackled it again and am not sure it is finished.  The far right figure is watching the guy having a smoke break while far left guy has his eyes closed, so what can be the artist's intent?
