Members Cat Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Because I'm an idiot. I gave up. then, a few months back went through "a stressful event." Hello, cigarettes. Think it's time to give up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 But then they're still inhaling and exhaling actually smoke right? Only its not tobacco smoke. Am I understanding this correctly? Because it seems to me like inhaling any burning material is still not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Of course it's not good. Although I presumed "fake cigarettes" existed, I'm actually quite surprised to find that they do exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Why? To glamourize smoking? I don't care that a bunch of people do it I would rather not see it on TV. Many advertisers would chose not to advertise during the show because there are groups are a very vocal about shows that feature smokers and soaps don't need another reason for advertiser to pay less or not at all.

Members dragonflies Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm with Cheap on this one. I don't want to see someone smoke just for the sake of doing so, it really doesn't add anything to the show, and would be completely unnecessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Nick on B&B smokes and he's not a bad guy. The "children might watch" excuse is probably the most stupid ever. Violence is alright but smoking, cursing and nudity aren't, so stupid. The show should not stop doing things because parents can't raise their children.

Members Darn Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just because it's on TV doesn't mean it's being glamourized. It's like cheating, every character does it, it doesn't mean it's being championed or held in high regard, it's just a fact of life. Smoking is an awful habit but it's not hard to imagine someone like Victor Newman propping his feet up and chomping on a cigar at the end of the day. Or even someone like Carly from GH smoking a pack a day because omgherlifeissostressful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GladGirl Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 On GL, Wendy Moniz's Dinah smoked. Since the actress didn't smoke, the show got cigarettes that were filled with lettuce or something. Anyone else remember this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
