Re: 108
HUH. WHAT. How can you promote smoking in any way? And yes, I believe using a, "look at this character doing this sexy thing called smoking," icon is further promotion of the idea that smoking is sexy in reality.
Between my own health issues (asthma and a tendency of my left lung to collapse when it gets irritated) and the gruesome death from a smoking-related cancer I watched my paternal grandmother die, I can honestly say there is nothing in the world that I think is less sexy than smoking.
Vomiting from the pain of a collapsed lung = not sexy. Watching someone starve to death because cancer shut down their ability to digest food = not sexy.
If you've experienced similar things, then this response is just...genuinely beyond me. I sort of understand people who have healthy lungs and airways shrugging it off, because it doesn't personally affect them; but this, I don't get! How can you still see anything about smoking as sexy, even in fiction? What about it is hot to you?
Re: 108
Semi-related to that, lighting someone else's cigarette just seems... intimate. The visuals of it are usually very pretty, too -- hand, fire, cigarette in other hand, burning embers, and it gets lifted to the mouth. That's definitely more attractive to me in live action things way more than actually smoking is. Smoke in real life usually isn't pretty to me, but smoke in art, drawings and animation looks different enough (kind of like a thin, concentrated mist?) that it's aesthetically pleasing to me as much as fog clinging to a landscape or a lake is.
Nothing will ever make me think anything more than the visuals (and those 99% in art and not real life) of smoking are any sort of attractive, though. When it comes down to it, mostly it's just the areas that it tends to take place (close up shots of long fingers or lips, icon VERY related? yes, please!) ping me hard on the attractiveness scale, so it's not actually the smoking itself that I'm drawn to. If that... makes any more sense. XD

(Anonymous) 2008-11-02 07:52 am (UTC)(link)Smoking is almost phallic. It involves the lips and fingers in an intimate way. It's not logical to find it appealing, but sexuality never, ever is.
Some people find guns sexy. Some find bleeding or choking sexy. Some are turned on by emotional pain and crying.
I understand your point of view. It's a very rational one, which is why you cannot apply it to sexuality. Sex and attraction aren't rational.
I find smoking sexy, but I would never smoke, and I would try my hardest to stop my loved ones from smoking. It's all about being able to seperate fantasy and reality.
