The case for smoking

After 4 decades, a hundred scientific breakthroughs and a thousand messages from the Surgeon General - has smoking changed?




It's easy to understand why Marilyn Monroe and James Dean smoked because that was the norm back then, plus the health dangers weren't known. Today, smoking seems more taboo than exposing yourself to small furry animals, unless you have a beaver in which case you are simply reintroducing a species back into the wild. Yet despite exhaustive efforts to paint smoking as something of a disgusting, inconsiderate habit saved for the cast of Trainspotting, smoking is still -and always will be - timeless and classy. Why? Well, look at the pictures below and ask yourself, honestly, how can Brad Pitt, Mischa Barton and Scarlett Johanson all be wrong at the same time?





They can't, because smoking is just too sexy to not do it. I mean, what's more sexy - being a spontaneous individual who can handle the risk of terminal cancer in a shrug of perennial cool, or someone who runs in the opposite way at the first sight of danger? Sexy isn't just a function of confidence, sexy is an attitude, sexy is standing on the edge of the Tower of Babel and laughing back as you take a step off. Smoking is sexy, its plain and clear. And fuck,if they do it why shouldn't we?
So kids, if you're looking for a quick way to enhance your rep. Believe the hype and buy yourself a pack today.
