SMOKING HOT!!!! continued

This blog is about the cultural artifact,smoking and sex and even a mention of fashion that smoking gives to us!

Well a film which i newly most watch actually had a massive amount of the characters smoking,the film was called Nowwhere boy and was set in the 1950's about John lennons adolesance and growing up but this doesnt matter the that matters is the way in which it uses smoking a focul point.Every 5 minutes a character was smoking or lighting a cigarette it gave the film in my words a cool,bad boy,arwsome,popular wicked feel to it.But also gave smoking out to be this harmless none dangerous to your health tool on how to be cool in the 50's but perhaps it was just the ignorance of how people didnt care or perhaps didnt know of the effects.









Smoking in films,tv is always done on purpose it's deliberate.It's never just by accident and it helps portray a bid of realism and a strong development of character.




Also while reading the current news 26th February 2010 in the Daily Star i spotted this article in which smoking is seen by are eyes as cool by celebrities like Lindsey Lohan is it still as trendy, hip, and sexy and seductive yes yes yes!!! Who wouldn't want to be seen in this light! quoted 'hottest ever photo shoot' 'smokin' and 'the babe made sure everyone knows she’s smoking hot by puffing on a cigarette in every shot. However cool and uber sexy this looks and seems is this the right example for the younger generation ,is it exceptable in today’s social era where it aim is to make smoking as shitty as the government can with bans in publics places adverts and propaganda.
