The entire reason smoking makes you look cool is because tobacco companies have been pressing that image since advertisement became a thing. It worked, in violation of all sense.

What is inherently cool about a small stick that emits among the foulest of odors, stains the walls and your teeth, gives you the voice of cancer kermit- and cancer- while ensuring most people with a working nose want nothing to do with you or anything you've smoked enough around?

Hell, vaporizing could be made to look cool more easily and lack all of those drawbacks. The drat things already sound more like some retrofuturistic gun than the latest vice.

What's with all the goddamn cigarettes in TV shows lately? Is BIG tobacco trying to make it look cool again?

I mean that dumb Magicians show on Syfy... I was surprised to see all these kids smoking. Are they just trying to be edgy?

And then I watched the first ep of that new Hulu/James Franco flick. Cigarettes everywhere (I mean it's set in the 60s so... but they don't need to emphasize it so much.)

Here in Canada we adopted the graphic warning labels that would take up about 50% of a packs outer surface. For a while stores used to have "novelty" stickers that would fit perfectly over the warnings. People also switched to cigarette cases or simply markered over the warning. I hated it then but all they were trying to do is tell me the truth and I actively ignored it.

Lame thing about flip tops you cant do the shake like with a soft pack to shoot out a cigarette.

The nice thing about the flip top is when you only have 2-3 cigs left the package doesn't crumble in your pocket.

As described by Dennis Leary it does not matter. If they called them tumors and came in a black package people would be lined up around the block going, I bet you get a tumor as soon as you smoke it.

So when you vape or smoke you swallow a small percentage of it and usually just pass it as farts or belch it up later. I have Crohn's Disease and if I swallow my vapor or cigarette smoke I gag really hard or sometimes throw up. In fact I switched to vaping because I was such a chain smoker that I would throw up pretty much every time I had tobacco.

I don't recall a marketing campaign to make eggs cool. It's just a food that we've eaten for thousands of years. We started eating them out of necessity and it carried over to the modern age. No multi-million marketing campaign to get people to eat it.

Do you think people only started smoking after big companies started advertising? Smoking, chewing and whatever else you can do with tobacco has been around also for thousands of years, you idiot.

I mean yeah the ads certainly cemented the idea in popular culture - it's not like they had no effect, they practically created the entire modern image of a cowboy. But smoking was cool long before that.
