I've gotta say I really dislike the smoking ban. Smoking communicates something about a character. It's odd that movie Wolverine is free to smoke his beloved cigars but the comics Wolverine can't. Which does Marvel think is going to be seen by more people? I don't buy the "bad influence" crap either. I've never had a single desire to smoke because when I was in the fourth grade we spent two weeks of science class going over autopsy photos and other sick crap. Anyone who smokes after going through that (and half that class ended up smoking in high school) is an idiot.
I dunno about that...When I went to University I had a documentary film class and one day the selected film was called ''le sang des bètes'' (translates to ''the blood of the beasts''). Basically for 25 minutes you get to see all the disturbing ways animals of all kinds get put down in slaughterhouses. I tell you, for about a week I couldn't bring myself to even look at meat, but eventually hunger got the better of me. Now I realize smoking is not a primordial need like drinking and eating is, but when you meet some fierce chain-smoking types (I used to have a boss that I almost never saw without a cigarette in his hand. The rare times he didn't you could see his hands shaking- pretty sad), you realize that, for some, it is...
