It's not new, and it's not "profound intolerance", jfc. Cigarette advertising has been banned on American television since at least the 1980's, and it's generally been taboo to depict unnecessary cigarette usage in TV shows and movies for at least as long. This has actually been extraordinarily effective as part of a multifaceted effort to reduce cigarette usage and the resulting diseases. And yes, people have been complaining about it on civil libertarian grounds at least as long. Which is fair enough. But if you want to see some actual __intolerance__, you might look at what's happening in Florida.

> Cigarette advertising has been banned on American television since at least the 1980's, and it's generally been taboo to depict unnecessary cigarette usage in TV shows and movies for at least as long Fight Club was recorded in 1999, and it explicitly shows a scene of Tyler Durden smoking a cigarette, so I doubt your claim has any substance to it. > But if you want to see some actual __intolerance__, you might look at what's happening in Florida. If you want to actually enlighten anyone, you might want to provide more information than "what's happening in Florida". There's a lot of things happening in Florida in any given moment, so I have no way of knowing what you're referring to.
