But curiously enough, for some people, the fatalism of smoking is attractive and some cultures still have a 'smoking = DGAF = cool' symbolism. China for eg- practically every guy there smokes or has smoked/tried it. Smoking is quite an old thing. In villages in UP, you will find a lot of old women smoking small hookas or bidis. It is nothing new. In fact, that practice of women smoking is steadily fading away when it comes to villages. My paternal and maternal grandmother who lived in village both smoked. It is just that new generation thinks, it is something new or empowering for girls. Detonator, Muloghonto, sandeep and 2 others 5

They didn't smoke cigarettes or beedi, they smoked those bigger cigars.
