It may have becaome part of the culture then but remember,that was only through the tabacco companies lies and deceit to the American consumer.
Especially paying wads of money to the stars for endorsing and using their product on camera!
From movie idols and TV stars ranging from Lucy & Desi to Fred and Barney in a B & W animated ad!
Musicians smoking definetly sends out the worst message and/or image.
There's nothing cultural or cultured about putting a flaming rolled up paper stuffed with leaves in your mouth and it's smoldering waste falling down into your lungs. Period!
