Random Smoking Scene | comment |
You're enjoying a movie, a TV show, a book, a comic when suddenly out of nowhere one of the (presumed non-smoking) characters lights a cigarette without any real reason. It's not part of the plot, it doesn't tell you anything about the character or it is in fact the first time in the entire work that a character is revealed to be a smoker. Often, the character will never light up again, and their smoking will never be discussed again. Thus making it a grave Series Continuity Error. Welcome to the world of Random Smoking Scenes. In other circumstances a smoking scene can be useful to the plot. A character is nervous, wants to impress people, just had sex, is a well known smoker (Winston Churchill, Fidel Castro, Humphrey Bogart can not be portrayed as non-smokers), is a rich business executive, a classy, intellectual pipe smoker, a Native American making peace with other tribes or an evil person. Or he's just a badass. Or the story is a Period Piece set in an era when Everybody Smokes. Or he needs access to fire and a cigarette is the only option. However, the random smoking scene has no real purpose and could have easily been left out the story without affecting the plot. In a few instances, it even becomes pointless padding. Sometimes it even makes no sense because the story takes place in a time period when tobacco hadn't yet been introduced, or the character smokes in an area where it is normally not allowed. In other circumstances, it's even highly questionable because the story is actually aimed at or popular with children or teenagers. Let's face it: there's no real necessary reason to have little children smoke on screen. It's Troubling Unchildlike Behavior that could easily be faked or avoided on screen, without hurting the story. Most random smoking scenes tend to be included in a work for one of a couple prominent reasons: U.S. cigarette companies can, as of April 1970, no longer advertise cigarettes or other tobacco products on television, so they pay production companies to let a show's characters light a cigarette in a film or TV series. Product Placement can be a potent way to inspire people to start smoking.note And even before 1970, this practice still sprang up a lot since naturally the tobacco concerns loved getting maximum, normalizing screen time wherever possible. In the 21st century, this has gotten less common, as the Moral Guardians (as well as the general nonsmoking public) have gotten more wise to this kind of behavior and disapprove of it. The actor just wanted to smoke on screen and didn't care whether it was appropriate for the story. It's an old movie from before the Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health was published in 1964. Expect Everybody Smokes to overlap with this trope, with folks who would strike modern viewers as nonsmokers lighting up just 'cause. Perhaps they want to be controversial, although this could backfire if such a smoking scene is in a work aimed at kids. See No Such Thing as Bad Publicity. In the 21st century, this is definitely the least common (since trying to be "edgy" in this way, especially with actual children's programming, can be a death sentence for crucial advertising dollars if one is on TV or ad-reliant media). See also Stealth Cigarette Commercial. |

In the Sherlock episode "A Scandal in Belgravia", Mycroft passes his brother a cigarette to smoke after the shock of a character's death. (Elsewhere, Sherlock is shown to be a quitting smoker who excessively uses nicotine patches to cope with stress.) According to Word of God, this is meant to reflect the literary original's cocaine use, which was similarly frowned upon in its day. | |

A Hard Day's Night: In a few scenes, most prominently towards the beginning on the train when George and Ringo discuss a woman who was flirting with Ringo earlier. Then again, The Beatles apparently smoked like crazy throughout the shoot, and director Richard Lester mentioned in at least one documentary someone would always be standing by just before each scene to take the cigarettes out of their hands, and then give them back after filming was finished. | |

In one episode of Angel the title character is seen leaning against a car smoking a cigarette. Partially justified as we know the character would have a dark past from his time without a soul and smoking hardly seems the worst vice that he may would have indulged (as well as being a vampire not really being at risk from the potential health problems) but mostly in that it is both to show him crossing a moral/despair event horizon and to spring his trap with a well timed flick of the lit cigarette Also, although the work is set in modern times: Angel himself is from a time when everyone smoked all the time. He was turned in the mid-19th Century. So, randomly lighting up is perfectly legitimate. It's actually a surprise that he doesn't light up more (which is presumably partially because it's a kid's show). Later on, in both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and in Angel, they consistently portrayed his Darker and Edgier Angelus personality smoking. This is somewhat consistent with Spike also being portrayed as a smoker and being more of an Anti-Hero. |

This is seen frequently in Dexter. Sometimes smoking is relevant to the plot (such as DNA from a cigarette butt, or cigar ash as evidence) but sometimes random, normally non-smoking characters smoke. Lieutenant Laguerta smokes a cigarette while interrogating Neil Perry, a suspect in the Ice Truck Killer case. Masuka is seen smoking a cigarette with Debra outside of the police station on one occasion. Rita is seen randomly lighting up once or twice, but this is justified by the fact that she is a former smoker lighting up out of stress. |

The Simpsons: Near the end of the episode "Marge on the Lam", Marge is seen smoking a cigarette in a Badass Smoker pose. This is really awkward because she normally doesn't smoke and for most of the episode her friend Ruth Powers was acting out the Badass Smoker part. In the episode "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer", Marge is also seen smoking a cigarette to distract Homer from the chili festival in town. Her plan backfires because Homer knows "she doesn't smoke." Later, Homer dismisses her with the words: "Sheesh, why don't you have a cigarette or something?" whereupon Marge concludes: "Mm, I suppose I could." In the episode "The Mansion Family", the Simpsons take care of Mr. Burns' mansion. Bart then lights a cigar, only to have it slapped away by Marge. In fact, it even attracted criticism in Australia. |

Happens often in the classic Looney Tunes, yet in their defense: back in the 1930s-1950s these cartoons were either more aimed at adults than children or for general audiences in the truest sense of the term (for all ages, not how the general audiences rating is generally understood to be in the modern day), and the hazardous effects of smoking had not yet been proven. Montage of several smoking scenes in Looney Tunes can be seen here. | |

When first introduced in the Discworld series, head wizard Mustrum Ridcully is, in Reaper Man, a militant non-smoker. He adamantly refuses a cigarette claiming that if you could see the inside of your own lungs you'd think twice. But in Unseen Academicals he is seen searching his rooms, late at night, for smoking materials, as he really needs tobacco. Either the pressures of the job made him take it up or this is a continuity error/random smoking scene. | |

In Child's Play 2, little Andy is seen taking a drag from a cigarette in one scene. This happens really out of nowhere and serves no further purpose to the rest of the story. Also, in the first film he was just a regular nice little boy. You really wonder why the director would include such a scene, especially since we're talking about a small kid. | |

Dana Scully from The X-Files smokes exactly once in the entire series out of stress while she is by herself in a hotel room, but does not mention it to anyone or even make note of it onscreen. The cigarette is just there. Gillian Anderson is a smoker. In that episode, everyone involved became temporary, literal Cosmic Playthings thanks to a rare planetary alignment. It briefly turned the town into a Quirky Town, including the visiting agents. Fox Mulder is also seen with a cigarette in a flashback episode that might explain the Sunflower Seeds. |

Gamakichi was comparing his relationship with Gamatatsu to Neji and Hinata's. After a brief montage, it showed Hinata dressed as their father, Gamabunta, complete with a pipe. However, smoke wasn't coming from the pipe. |

Gray of Fairy Tail was seen smoking in his first few appearances. Laxus smoked a cigar in his first appearance. None of them has smoked since.

Doctor Who: In "An Unearthly Child", the First Doctor is shown lighting up a pipe upon landing on prehistoric Earth — the story is about him being captured by a group of cavemen who want him to create fire for them, but he loses his matches. This was 1963, and public opinion about showing heroic characters in children's shows smoking changed soon afterward, meaning that neither he nor any of his future incarnations are ever seen smoking again. (The Expanded Universe, which is a bit less child-friendly, has it that Four occasionally smokes a pipe too or at least enjoys sharing them socially, Eight has a taste for cigarettes and Two is a bit of a stoner.) "The Deadly Assassin" has a scene where the Fourth Doctor uses a hookah and a pile of his clothes in a chair as a Decoy Getaway, so as to create the illusion that he's smoking in the corner with his back to the door when the Time Lord guards break into his TARDIS. Since he isn't ever seen smoking on screen, it comes across as a bizarre part of the illusion. He isn't shown actually smoking it, though he pops the end of the pipe into his mouth while he's setting it up. Later in the story, though, he wakes up from beside a machine that's been burned out by saying "Do you mind? This is a non-smoking compartment." The Doctor has a cigarette case in "The Face of Evil". It only has jelly babies in it, though he mimes with them like they're cigars. Ian lights a cigarette while trying to help Barbara after a car crash in the Target book Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks. He never smoked on the show, let alone in the story the book is an Adaptation Expansion of. |

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country: When Kirk and McCoy arrive at the Klingon penal colony of Rura Penthe, a fellow prisoner, Martia, gives Kirk a drag on what she's smoking, claiming it will keep him warm. (Rura Penthe being an ice planet.) Strangely, she doesn't offer it to McCoy (neither does Kirk). Word of Dante This was a theory of someone that worked on the movie and Star Trek: Deep Space 9 believes this is how this space shifters can adapt themselves to look like another creature is through DNA Exchange. The character was looking to die, so looking like Kirk would be the best bet. |

Dixie McCall, while on a break, in one early episode of Emergency!. Although most of the show's actors smoked, this is one of the rare times any of the characters is shown doing it. Of course, this was before hospitals banned it in general. | |

In It's a Wonderful Life George lights up a cigarette while outside of Harry's party. It might represent his depression, since Harry's getting a lucrative job offer and George is still stuck in Bedford Falls, but otherwise it never comes up again. | |

In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines Smiling Jack is seen smoking a cigar a couple of times. As a vampire, he should be unable to enjoy smoking, so he probably just does it to look cool. | |
