I never understand why people would think smoking looks cool

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Years of money and effort from tobacco companies to expose people to advertising to convince them that smoking is cool and sexy. It worked.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

Worked on me. Been a lifelong problem and by the time I was old enough to realize it wasn’t cool I was hooked. I collected camel dollars as a child.

I thought I looked so rad at 11 marching down the road with a cigarette. I see that now and it just looks so wrong. It’s still like that where I’m from too. Little kids with cigarettes are a common sight.

Smoking proves that you officially Don't Give a Shit about your long-term health, and Not Giving a Shit is the essence of being cool. I mean, I guess for a long time now "cool" has just meant "good," but the original "cool" aesthetic was all about acting like you were probably going to die young and looking sexy doing it.

Edit: And smoking definitely contributes to the sexy part. Smoldering embers. Oral fixation. Taking a long drag and letting it out slowly. Maybe it's not for you, but it sure pushes my buttons, and I know it's not just me.

idk but the smell is a big turn off for being sexy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Nobody ever said smoking smells cool.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 14 hours ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

I’m guessing that’s a Virginia Slim?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

As a never-smoker who knows all the downsides to smoking, the one point I do concede about the habit is it DOES look very cool.

Vaping just does not compare.

Every once in a while I think about lighting up at my job so I could be like John from Jurassic Park now that I'm in IT

Unfortunately a) id probably get fired and b) I HATE the smell of cigarettes LMAO

I once did some office work for a tobacco company, where you were allowed to smoke at your desk. I don't smoke, but I had a few ciggies when I was there, because you realise that you've never really pointed at anything, until you've pointed at it with a cig in your hand. It's just a better way to point at stuff (I don't make the rules).

Disney cast members are taught to "Disney point" where you point with either two fingers or your whole hand, and during Traditions (job training/brainwashing course) you're shown pictures of Walt Disney doing that point.

At some point you realize that he's doing that point because they just edited a cigarette out from between his fingers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago
