would pretty much be perfect if there was no smoking
what do you have against smoking ?
I find it disgusting and it takes away from a character's value. This is just my opinion of course.
Wow. I mean, I’m not a fan of smoking either, but this seems a bit extreme to me, especially in regards to fictional characters. Not sure exactly how it “takes away from a character’s value” to have a bad habit/vice like that. There are a lot worse things that (fictional) character could be doing instead to “devalue” themselves.
To be fair though, as you said, that’s just your opinion, and that’s totally fine. I guess I’m just confused cuz I just can’t really see where you’re coming from with all this.
It's quite a personal thing, so I don't expect many to relate. Smoking is plenty common in my immediate and extended family, and I've lost multiple family members to lung-related disease. Almost everyone around me smokes, save myself, my mom, and a couple of my friends. I was lucky enough (lol) to have asthma that's triggered by smoke, which gave me a valid excuse to tell people to stop smoking in the house. I've grown to be disgusted by smoking and smokers, and find it extremely hard to continue reading a series with a smoker mc/prominent side character. I have a similar aversion to alcoholic characters, but to a lesser degree. I can't really explain why I specifically hate this type of "devaluing" over other, more severe types, but it is what it is
