Even if they are using fake cigarettes that smoke can’t be healthy to inhale, right?

    They usually smoke nicotine-free herbal cigarettes. I don’t know the long term affects but definitely better than regular cigarettes.

    I think it could be considered dedication to their work, especially when you consider they usually have to film a scene several times. Cillian Murphy probably went through thousands of them when filming Peaky Blinders. Lol

      From that wiki page:

      Research shows that herbal cigarettes compared with regular cigarettes can be just as harmful in terms of the carcinogens they contain.

              Yes, there’s no reason to enjoy life…lol

              I smoke cigars/pipe tobacco, but I don’t drink or have caffeine, it’s a vice and it makes my life better. If you want to save people, get them to stop eating and being morbidly obese…it’s the #1 killer in the USA now.

                I fully agree that people should stop eating the way they do. Again, that doesn’t make one thing more or less healthy.

                To frame your argument in another example: is ok to drive without a seatbelt if you aren’t going over the speed limit.

                The issue isn’t that driving without a seatbelt is only unsafe while speed. They are both safety issues independent from each other.

                  Again…vices exist. People do drugs, let them, people over eat…let them…but don’t whine when someone else likes a different vice.

        So what? They’re smoking those so that they don’t get addicted to nicotine. Smoking 1 pack of cigarettes in a day is not that bad for you. Doing it every day for 30 years is a death sentence.
