This may be new in the last 10-15 years, but let's not forget why that icon appeared there: because of the huge marketing budget spend created by tobacco companies to make smoking look cool instead of something that kills millions of people slowly.

- bheadmaster 4y agoOh, I know. The OP put an icon of cigarette because big evil corporations brainwashed him into liking cigarettes, not because he wanted to. But he removed it because he wanted to, not because big evil mobs brainwashed him into fearing cancellation. That's totally how it happened.
- freedomben 4y agoI'm not a smoker and don't want smoking anywhere near me, but I don't think it's fair to assume it's just advertising. Smoking is enjoyable for many people and makes them feel good. It's also been in use as far as history records, long before advertising budgets and big tobacco.
