And smoking esp in bed is a bad idea. You don't see many people smoking in yuri I'm glad to say - tends to be off putting.

I always get salty when they make Mokou in Touhou smoke... I guess she's immortal, but that doesn't make it smell any better... =A=

I dislike smoking but it looks good when Anime characters are doing this ^^

^ I don't think it looks good on young women - but it fits / looks fine on grizzled, gruff older guy sort characters - like Ricardo in El cazador etc.

I like it, especially when a girl is smoking, two is even better.

I like it when there's smoking in yuri. It usually ends up being shorthand for "this girl has a tragic backstory that drove her into a depression where all she can do now is smoke her troubles away until the right girl comes along to help her fix her life."
Alternatively, it can just mean she's going to be foul-mouthed, rude, and utterly entertaining to watch. Either way it makes for a good story.

Actually, much of the time when I see an adult woman smoking in non-SFF anime/manga, it often indicates that she's a serious career woman.

Yeah, but 90% of yuri involves schoolkids. Adult yuri is a rare think in my experience and is thus worth reading regardless.

Well, we're in the discussion for an image involving two women who aren't schoolgirls...

Aren't they? I thought they were university freshmen. Maybe I'm wrong, it's been a while since I've read this series.

True, but college women aren't seen as schoolgirls. Torako smokes in yotsuba, so this isn't really a case of smoking in yuri either.
Smoking rabbits, though, that's unforgivable.

I know a lot of people who would disagree about seeing them as schoolgirls. The point I was making was that yuri in general seems to lean toward having two excessivly cute and virginal girls as the leads and I like it when they deviate.
Also, ironic avatar jokes aside, we can all agree that you should not stuff sticks of tobacco into the mouths of small animals and light them on fire.

Yeah, they do. I just wanted to pretend for a minute that "humanity is better than that" can be true in some context. That context is probably not the internet now that I think about it.
Edit: You were talking about the bunnies, right? If you were talking about the schoolgirl thing it would make more sense. You can't really tell when you're online.
