Well the origin of smoking tobacco began very early around 5000-3000 bc and was carried out where tobacco was burned and smoke was tasted and inhaled.But as time went on later became used and seen in a pleasurable way or a social tool.
Cig,fags,cancer sticks,bifa,bine,joy twigs are all part of this phenomenum of fasination with smoking over generations.It is continuious and got seen in the 1920's,30s,40s,50s etc as sexy cool rebelous,great,fun,flirtly,popular thing to do and even thought to attract the opposite sex.what makes this habit such a sort after,atrractive image as a persuit?
Well could it be the glamour factor of smoking it looks sexy and men and women look damm good the sex appeal made and make it a widespread habit? Two eras same message!!
'It will never happen to me' cancer will not choose me as its victum I enjoy cigarettes and 'I shall do what I like' or the 'My friends do it and they look cool I despiratly want to fit in' etc?
Have these claims changed has the health risks that were not an issue over time have taken over this image of greatness and desire to look good which to be honest has never been a clean cut.And instead increased awarness of high blood pressure,heart attacks,lung and mouth cancer etc has shrunk the amount of smokers in the current times.The numbers are falling with 13 million ex smokers.smoking is more common in men but women at not far behind in statics.
i think in some cases smoking does look hot, but not those pirthetic rolled up things.
