In contemporary North America, about 14% of the population smokes tobacco. The number is small enough and the practice has been stigmatized enough since the 1950's-1960's (since the science about health effects of smoking, and the dangers of being just in the vicinity of smokers with second-hand smoking, became widely known) that younger generations are accustomed to designated smoking areas and smoke-free public buildings. Smoking indoors in public buildings has been illegal throughout the entire U.K. since 2007, and smoking rates dropped dramatically as a result of this smoking ban. Tobacco use rates continue to fall as older smokers die off without as many younger consumers lighting up for the first time to take their place, while increasing numbers of those remaining tobacco smokers are ditching the cigarettes and taking up nicotine vaping instead. However. If you're in a period piece, or a retro-future, or a pulp cyberpunk future, a crime-noir piece, or even an outdated 20 Minutes into the Future from a past decade, you might have to put up with the fact that everybody smokes—especially men (it was uncommon for women to smoke until the 1920s when "masculine" behavior became more acceptable). If the setting dates to before the 1970s, ashtrays are going to be everywhere and there will be no such thing as a "non-smoking section" of a restaurant. If it's before the 1960s, smoking might even be seen as healthy and virile. During the period of peak tobacco use in America (late 50s-early 60s), more than 40% of the population smoked with some regularity. Note that the extent to which smoking has been stigmatized varies from country to country, so this trope may still apply in modern media depending on country of origin. Eastern Europe and East Asia in particular have high contemporary smoking rates. Smoking is still comparatively commonplace in Japan, and so it is also quite common in anime. Having a character smoke (who is old enough to do so legally, obviously) says very little about them as a character, and background characters are fairly often seen with cigarettes as well. It's worth noting however that overall smoking rates in Japan have fallen sharply in the last ten years (after regulators started cracking down on it as public health issue), so depictions of smoking are also slowly changing. Men have always had much higher smoking rates than women in Japan, so a female anime character's smoking habits are more likely to be significant than a male character's. Compare Random Smoking Scene, where there's no real plot-relevant reason for the character to smoke. Contrast No Smoking, for when smoking is censored. noreallife |

In Watchmen smoking is shown to be ubiquitous, but to highlight how different the world in the story is, most smoke from a contraption that looks like a long cigarette holder with a spherical bowl at the end, that the smoker fills with loose tobacco. Averted with the protagonists, the only smokers among them being the Comedian and the second Silk Spectre. This is even a sort of Chekhov's Gun. Turns out she is his daughter. | |

Interesting use in Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis- not only is this trope in play, but even the book's maddeningly prudish, hysterically posturing 'feminine' character smokes as much as the hero. A little period knowledge explains why the hero is always fretting about how many cigarettes he has left to last the week- cigarettes were still rationed in Britain in 1951, as the import and manufacturing base recovered from WW2. It underlines the way that they're considered one of life's minor essentials in the period. | |

Rocketship Voyager is a Star Trek: Voyager fanfic written In the Style of a 1950's sci-fi pulp. When they first meet Captain Janeway offers Chakotay coffee, but he prefers a cigarette as Voyager's air-renovators are better than those of the asteroid mines. Janeway hands him a packet which not only holds cigarettes, it also has a tiny fan inside to draw oxygen across a lit cigarette so it won't be smothered by its own smoke in zero-gravity, and an asbestos catch-pocket so the ashes won't float around the room and get in people's eyes. | |

In the Chilean series Los 80, which tells the experiences of a very common Chilean family in, obviously, the decade of the '80s, everyone smokes, including parents in front of their children.

French sketch comedy show Vous Les Femmes takes this as a self-evident truth. This is France, after all.note France has the highest percentage of smokers in Western Europe, although shaded by every Balkan nation. France is the only Western European country where the percentage of smokers actually went up in the early 2020's. . Quite often, central actress Judith Siboni is seen nursing a cigarette. | |

The Simpsons: Spoofed in "HOMR", when Homer and Marge watch an old Itchy & Scratchy cartoon with everyone smoking. The show itself went through this. In the first seasons, many characters smoked; apart from the chronic smokers Patty and Selma, so did Ms. Krabappel, Mr. Burns (cigars), Skinner, Krusty, Troy McClure, Otto, and most of Moe's clients. Even Homer was seen smoking from time to time. This was downplayed as the series continued and smoking became less common (it should be remembered that The Simpsons have been going for 30 years) to the point that nowadays the only characters that are regular smokers are Patty, Selma, and Krusty. |

In the early seasons of Homicide: Life on the Street, the cast smoked like chimneys and scenes set in the squad room were practically hazy with cigarette smoke. A subplot in one episode focused on Bayliss and Howard's attempt to quit causing strife amongst the detectives because they asked for accommodations (like a non-smoking section) that Giardello was unable and unwilling to make. As societal attitudes towards smoking changed, it gradually became less of a feature. | |

The shift of this trope across the years was pretty much the entire basis of short-lived British sitcom The Smoking Room, set in the early 00s when these were a fairly common feature of large workplaces- smoking at one's desk or the general break room having become felt to be obnoxious by the majority, but the laws against actually smoking in a workplace building not being passed yet. The whole premise was that people now mixed in the smoking room from different areas and levels who wouldn't otherwise speak to each other (with a strong subtext that this meant all the best and most interesting interactions went on in there, as was the writer's conviction). | |

In Lucky Dog 1, practically all of the main characters smoke cigars or cigarettes with some having preferences for one over the other (Gian, for instance, only smokes cigarettes, while Luchino seems to like cigars). This is probably justified since the plot is following the lives of criminals in the 1930's. In fact, only two of the characters, Giulio and Bakshi, don't ever seem to smoke. | |

Intimate: All five main characters smoke, and alongside lots of Random Smoking Scenes it's also sometimes used as a plot point, gag, or for characterization — Jonas and Leo smoke together after sex, Emil is able to break the ice with his potential co-star at an audition over a cigarette, Leo has several Cigarettes of Anxiety and physically attacks a player at a LARP game who chides him for breaking the immersion, the owner of the campsite the guys travel to gets on their case when they immediately break the no-smoking rule, etc. This is a contemporary German series, and while showing casual smoking isn't as frowned upon as it would be in an American production, it's still unusual for it to be so prevalent. The show's conceit is that a group of twentysomething guys are starring As Themselves, and as they all smoke in real life, they do so on screen as well. | |

In Absolutely Fabulous, in part. While Edina and Patsy's frequent smoking in Saffron's own home would still be legal in the UK today, it stands out glaringly when Eddie, Patsy and Magda smoke inside the private hospital (which, as noted above, was commonplace in British hospitals until recently), with the nurse bringing a trolley of cigarettes for them to buy. That said, smoking would probably not be advisable for Patsy right before her elective facial surgery. | |

The Newsflesh series has an interesting take, as 20 Minutes into the Future a Zombie Apocalypse is caused by the merging of cures to the common cold and cancer. Despite the zombies, the two cures also did exactly what they were supposed to, and with no risk of ever getting cancer, smoking becomes a lot more popular. Although it's also noted that its current most serious side effect, emphysema, isn't something you want to be dealing with when a zombie is chasing you. | |

In Call the Midwife, set in the East End of London in the late 50s, most of the characters - including pregnant mothers! - have a casual smoke every so often. It's even a bonding moment for Dr Turner and Sister Bernadette, who share a Henley cigarette after a particularly difficult delivery. He does seem a bit surprised when she takes him up on his lighthearted offer, but it's likely that's only because he's never seen her smoke before; the nuns are just about the only characters who aren't constantly lighting up. | |

Darkness Visible is fantasy, but it is set in 1895, so naturally this trope applies. Notably, the fact that Marsh has such a major smoking habit does double duty as a plot point and a clue to his sexual orientation. | |

Deadliest Catch: Most people smoke, and of the few who don't, most of those chew tobacco. One captain (Keith of the F/V Wizard) is trying to quit chewing tobacco at the guilt trip/urging of his daughter. And, while it's somewhat understandable people in a high-mortality profession like crab fishing view long-term risks like smoking differently, there's some indication Captain Sig of the Northwestern has changed his tune after Captain Phil of the Cornelia Marie suffers a pulmonary embolism one season, then a massive stroke and finally dies of a second embolism. Sig reacts to the news by throwing his pack of cigarettes across the wheelhouse. |

On the distant mining planet of Screamers, anti-radiation medication is delivered via red-colored cigarettes. When radiation levels get too high, an announcement instructs all personnel to smoke their "radiation reds" This is lampshaded at one point, with a character commenting on how ironic it is that he has to smoke a cigarette to keep harmful toxins out of his lungs. | |

In Videodrome there is rarely a scene, in the first half of the movie in particular, where the main character isn't lighting/smoking or putting out a cigarette. Several other characters are seen to smoke quite regularly throughout the film, but the lead is the most notable. His assistant even lights one up before he gets to the office, and gives it to him- along with a cup of coffee- straight from her mouth, before he goes into a meeting. | |

Black Lagoon is a prime example of this, having most characters smoke at least once during the series. Rotton the Wizard is one of the non-smokers in the series. Being the smartest man in Roanapur in many ways, he'll probably live the longest. "Torch" Weaver also doesn't smoke, due to it being forbidden by his religion (he's implied to be a Mormon). | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The episode Far Beyond The Stars is set in the 1950s, where everyone... well, guess. Same thing in the episode Little Green Men, Earth 1947. Once the story reaches Earth, it's a smoke-fest for the next 30 minutes. Every human who has more than 2 seconds of screen-time is seen smoking at least once. The trope is played straight with a vengeance as an homage to old "alien menace" movies, and as part of a Take That! at smoking. The Ferengi talk about how humans willfully ingest poison simply because it's addictive, and Quark even tells a General that Humans should stop smoking because it would kill them. One moment shows one of the characters lighting up two cigarettes so that he can pass one to his girlfriend, and when Nog tells Quark that people bought and used tobacco mainly because it was so addictive, he gets greedy and starts overestimating what easy marks humans must be. One of the episode's writers regretted how it came off, and said that if he had to do it over again, he would have Quark come back home with a craving for a cigarette. |

BioShock: BioShock, being set in 1960. Although you rarely see another person smoking, there's plenty of boxes of Oxford Club and Nico Time lying around (that take away Health but restore EVE). It's also notable that cigarettes are one of the biggest products for smugglers. BioShock Infinite one-ups its predecessor by featuring a children's cigarette brand ('Minor Victory') in Columbia. There are even some kids apparently taking smoke breaks scattered throughout the game (which is historically accurate for delinquent boys of the time period). |

M*A*S*H: The main characters are rarely shown smoking. This is notable because the series was filmed during a time when smoking was common and takes place in a time before anyone thought smoking was bad for your health. However, every major male character was seen smoking at some time in the series; Col. Potter confessed to enjoying 5 cigars a day for decades. Even Radar during the first and second seasons was seen smoking (and drinking whisky). Camp Chef Igor can be seen with an actual cigarette in one episode. Also, there's a lot of smoking in the movie. |

Star Trek: The Original Series is somewhat notable for averting this. The network wanted to use this trope, but Gene Roddenberry refused, on the grounds that given the known health risks of smoking, people would have stopped doing it that far into the future. This was particularly grating on DeForest Kelley (most of the cast smoked - William Shatner actually quit during the show's run - but he was the heaviest smoker) who pleaded with Roddenberry that they be allowed to smoke futuristic "space-erettes". Smoke from Kelley's cigarette (obscured by a large surgical apparatus his character is using) can be seen in the OR scenes in "Journey to Babel". | |

The Foundation Trilogy: Written in the late 1940s to early 1950s, the social assumptions of smoking in these stories all lean towards sharing tobacco in social situations. Hari Sheldon comes from a family of hydroponic tobacco farmers, Salvor Hardin reflexively tries to take out a cigarette when a recording suggests it, and Indbur III is dictator of the most powerful state in the galaxy but mocked for not allowing smoking in his private office. Later, a village elder on the now agrarian Trantor offers Foundation guests some cigars, and it's a sign of the gender equality there that Bayta takes one along with the guys. The elder is shocked, but keeps silent due to Sacred Hospitality. | |

The Wages of Fear starts with the expected amount of smoking for a black-and-white movie set in a rough town. It becomes ridiculous when the characters keep smoking next to a truck full of nitroglycerin, with a sign that says "No flame within 50 feet." One character even smokes while covered in oil. | |

The player character, Adam Jensen is also a smoker as well, presumably to deal with the stress of becoming an augment. Of course, since he can get an aug upgrade that allows him to breathe in visibly green toxic gas with no ill effects, cigarette smoke is probably of no concern to him. Deconstructed in the spin off, Deus Ex: The Fall, a quick line of news mentions that lung cancer is on the rise. |

Averted in Doctor Who, even though a huge chunk of it was made in the 60s and 70s, because the cast and crew were worried about setting a bad influence to children.

Deus Ex: While you will not see anyone actually smoking, cigs are a relatively common find throughout the game, and there are usually cigarette vending machines in public. In a nightclub, one NPC will ask you for a light. JC can smoke as well, but at the cost of 10 health points to the torso, making it at full health, chain smoking 10 packs in a row will kill you. The prequel, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, plays this straight as well. Walk down the street of Detroit, or heck, even just step outside the Sarif Offices at the helipad, and you'll see all sorts of people smoking a cigarette.

In fact, the only characters of significance who doesn't smoke (that's old enough to, anyway) are Margaret, Richard who is physically incapable due to his war injuries, and Arnold Rothstein. Everyone else is almost always using one or preparing to light one. | |

Watch almost any cooking-based reality show that shows contestants during their breaks, and you'll see every single contestant smoking like a chimney. This is somewhat ironic, as pointed out by Gordon Ramsay (famous chef and host/judge of Hell's Kitchen). He does not smoke and has berated contestants for the habit, which deadens the sense of taste and actually makes them worse chefs than they would be otherwise. (Cooks often smoke because it's the only way they can get to take a breather during service.) | |

Seems you can't go anywhere in the world of Atlas Shrugged without finding some chain-smoking rich industrialists. The mystery behind a symbol on a cigarette box is even part of the plot. It's only the 'good' industrialists who succeed on talent who smoke, though — the 'bad' ones, who live off government favours and crony capitalism, do not. Ayn Rand considered "fire at your fingertips" a positive symbol. (She later developed lung cancer.) | |

The Saboteur, despite its cartoonish Dieselpunk aspect, actually stays true to the period as far as this trope goes. The player can even tap a button to have Sean light up if he's standing around doing nothing. One loading screen lampshades it, calling smoking one of Sean's least healthy habits (the man routinely climbs buildings, blows up buildings, crashes cars, and gets into gun fights, so that's saying something). | |

Many members of the Ayashiro family in Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir, which is set in the 1980s, either regularly smoke or used to smoke in the past, but quit due to the town's doctor advising them against it. Which becomes a plot point when it's revealed that the culprit used cyanide-laced tobacco to kill his victims and was forced to find other ways of disposing of the non-smokers. | |

No one is seen smoking in Thank You for Smoking, even though smoking is what the entire movie is about. The trope is referenced when discussing a possible space movie that would try to make smoking appealing: | |

In Transmetropolitan, even Spider's cat smokes. Justified in that cancer cures come in pill form. Spider's assistants initially didn't smoke, but he made them start immediately after they were hired. | |

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most famous tobacco users. He customarily smokes a pipe, and has made several in-depth studies of different kinds of tobacco and its uses. Tobacco and/or cigarettes are a clue in several original Conan Doyle stories and in the films. In Sherlock Holmes in Washington, one of the Rathbone-Bruce series, a matchbook or match folder is one of the keys. | |

Played with on How I Met Your Mother. People smoke when it becomes plot-relevant, most often cigars but sometimes cigarettes or...sandwiches. However, in fact they're pretty regular smokers, Future Ted just doesn't talk about it much because he's telling the story to his kids. | |

Except for Willie (played by bodybuilder Peter Lupus), all the original cast of Mission: Impossible smoked, Cinnamon and Rollin especially. Became a plot point a couple of times, when doctored cigarettes were used to make marks more pliable. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): Because most of the past scenes are set in the early 20th century, the main characters Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt are heavy smokers, alongside supporting characters like Tom Anderson, Alderman Fenwick, and Antoinette Brown, plus countless background extras. Doris works as a cigarette girl at the Azalea in "...After the Phantoms of Your Former Self" and "Is My Very Nature That of a Devil", and Tom boasts about the high pile of money he made supplying the military camps with cigarettes. "Like Angels Put in Hell by God": In 1973, a 20-year-old Daniel Molloy lights up a cigarette in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, and the gay bar Polynesian Mary's is very smoky because many of its patrons are puffing for their nicotine fix (and presumably marijuana as well — Daniel did say it was a good place to score drugs). In the Season 2 SDCC trailer and the First Look Scene, Armand smokes in the 1940s. |

The Tonight Show: Especially during the Jack Parr and to a somewhat lesser extent the first 15-20 years of the Johnny Carson era, a large number of the guests smoked on-camera, without restriction. Even Parr, Carson and — to a lesser extent — Ed McMahon, smoked on-camera, although by 1980 or so, Carson and McMahon eventually stopped lighting up on the set. | |

Lupin III. With the exception of Goemon, everyone else smokes either on a regular basis (Lupin, Jigen) or occasionally (Zenigata, Fujiko), with the author even specifying their brands.note Gitanes Caporal for Lupin, Pall Mall superlong filter and/or Marlboro for Jigen, More Menthol for Fujiko, and Shinsei for Zenigata That characters light up becomes a plot point at times. In one particular sequence from the manga, Zenigata realizes Lupin is nearby because he sees that a spent cigarette is a Gitanes Caporal, an expensive import brand that only Lupin is known to smoke in Japan. Goemon is sometimes shown smoking a pipe, like in his debut chapter of the manga.◊ Jigen's cigarettes are always bent out of shape (usually because it happens naturally with Pall Mall superlong filters when the package is treated too harshly, but he's been seen bending a straight cigarette before lighting it), to the point that in Italy bent cigarettes are known as "Jigen-style cigarettes". |

YuYu Hakusho: In the manga, Yusuke smokes, apparently as part of his juvenile delinquent persona. Cool Old Lady Genkai smokes, in the manga and anime; she's a crotchety but tough old bird, and it's a bad idea to cross her. Kuwabara's older sister Shizuru smokes. She's tends toward completely deadpan, and once puts out her cigarette on a demon's tongue. Bad guy Sakyo is almost never seen without a cigarette in hand, but rarely seen actually smoking it. |

Played for laughs in Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer in which Stacey Keach played the title character, who always dressed like a 1950s Private Detective in fedora and trenchcoat with a permanent cigarette in his mouth, despite living in the 1980s where everyone kept telling him to stop smoking. | |

Many characters in The Word Weary smoke (Harry the Hipster, Grace, John and Poor Trotmann) though it takes place in the present day. This is somewhat justified in that the main character works in a hookah lounge. | |

In The Space Merchants, the smoking percentage of the population is likely even higher in The Future than it was in the 1950s when the story was written. If it weren't, a lot of advertising men, including the protagonist (a loyal smoker of his client's Starrs brand), would be quite disappointed, since "Kiddiebutt" cigarettes can not only be marketed to children but are even included with school lunches. | |
