I would never buy one, but they shouldn't be taken away. People are allowed to do as they wish, no matter how poor the decision is. I'm not saying that smokers are stupid, but rather that they made a bad decision. It wouldn't be fair for the people who bought them and got them taken away, would it? And besides, it's not like they are smoking them.
A. Yes, they're lit. Either you've never seen a lit one (thank goodness) or you're just not looking. The tip's red, it's lit.
B. Some avvies are smoking them, the ones with it in there MOUTH. Duh...
C'mon have a brain! How's it helping anyone if you smoke? Do you think it looks cool? Why would you start? ... Just quit. Stop smoking, it's not doing any one any good.
we have thongs,we're not promoting prostitutes are we?
Nope. Prostitutes don't wear thongs (not all of them) actually, (obviously you've got no clue about prostitutes do you?) most prostitutes don't wear underwear.
Also, a lot of teenage girls who think they're cool wear thongs. Thongs aren't bad, uncomfortable, but they're not hurting any one. Don't be stupid, think before you speak please. 3nodding

No YOU need a brain. I don't smoke, and I don't recommend it but you can't force people to do as you wish. Be reasonable!
And having cigarettes at truck stops promotes smoking! Anti-smoking sarcasm promotes smoking! Everything related to smoking promotes smoking!
I love the Cig & Smoker items. My grandfather died of lung cancer and cigarette smoke makes me sick - I even threw up at my boyfriend's graduation from all the cigar smoke. DISPLAYING an item in pixel-image form is not enough to qualify as "promoting" its use in the real world.
And as a matter of fact, I think smoking looks cool - in fictional images. Hercule and Eiri Yuki look cool when they smoke. My brother and his friends do not look cool when they smoke.
I don't smoke. I don't like it when people smoke. I don't think people should smoke. Yet I sometimes equip my avatar with a cigarette. Why? Because they're pixels.
Let's give people some credit, shall we? People don't go out and get addicted to nicotine because "Hey, I saw it on Gaia, it MUST be good!"
Gaia is clean. It's just a silly item; all the items are silly in their own way.
Funny yet, highly unhelpful. She quit because she's strong and smart, unlike the smoker, who just committed murder and won't be seeing any one for a long time...
