You think that Smoking Is Cool, don't you? That smoking will always automatically make you a badass? Not necessarily. Plenty of characters are perfectly capable of being tough or cool without lighting up. In fact, to emphasize this point even further, characters can be made more unlikeable or unattractive by having them smoke. This can happen by having them taunt a non-smoker into lighting up, because otherwise he's a "wimp." Or by blowing Second-Face Smoke in his face. Or just by having an ugly, obese, badly dressed, lazy, or otherwise degrading character light up a cigarette or a cigar. Or just out and out try to Scare 'Em Straight, by having the smoker display all the negative symptoms of life-long smoking: respiratory problems, bad skin, yellowing teeth, and maybe even cancer, even if the person in question couldn't realistically have been a smoker for long enough for these problems to occur. Truth in Television, since tobacco smoke really smells repulsive when you're a non-smoker. Also, smoke coming out of someone's mouth can really account as a Gross-Up Close-Up when you really look at it. And, more seriously, exposure to secondhand smoke can be seriously detrimental to infants, children, and anyone with even a slightly dodgy respiratory system (e.g. asthmatics). A character who doesn't smoke may be The Teetotaler (if they also aren't an alcoholic). See also Do Not Do This Cool Thing and Good Smoking, Evil Smoking. Sub-trope of Drugs Are Bad. No Smoking is this trope as a censorship application. Compare Smoking Is Edgy, which is when smoking is not portrayed as "good" in the traditional sense but still has edgy and cynical associations.

The Simpsons Patty and Selma, who are already very ugly and downright unpleasant company, smoke heavily. In fact, a flashback in "Three Men and a Comic Book" suggested they used to be nicer and their voices were far more feminine until they took up smoking. Krusty the Clown, an egotistical and careless entertainer, is so addicted to tobacco that even being covered in nicotine patches doesn't prevent him from licking a patch on his elbow. In "Lisa the Beauty Queen", when Lisa feels depressed about her appearance, Homer enters her in a Beauty Contest sponsored by Laramie, a cigarette multinational that bald-facedly admits it only sponsors events for the intent of advertising its product on TV, which Lisa ends up winning after the first-place winner gets struck by lightning. When Lisa realizes she is being exploited by the company, she immediately rebels against them and uses her influence to provide more socially admirable messages, such as making a stance that government money could be used for better education instead of spending it in sports (which caused a football team to be chased out by angry nerds). |

Bravestarr rams this message down your throat. Big Bad Tex Hex had a toadying lickspittle named Scuzz who smokes cigars and is always coughing and hacking up a storm. The other villains despise him, and in one Knowing Is Half The Battle segment, even he admits that he regrets having started the habit in the first place. | |

As part of a promotion, Butts comes up behind a guy who exudes coolness and asks if he smokes. The guy, never turning around to see who is asking, simply replies, "No, smoking is for idiots." | |

It is really telling something that in spite of the extremely cruel methods used by the company (such as electrocuting the protagonist's wife when they caught him smoking), the wife was eventually grateful to them because they finally managed to make her husband quit. | |

Calvin once asked his mom if he could try smoking. Much to his surprise, she agreed to it without argument and even told him where to find some cigarettes around the house. Naturally, when Calvin lights up outside and tries taking a nice big pull on it, he finds himself choking and coughing up the smoke. His mom then steps out and asks if he learned his lesson. Calvin takes away that trusting his parents can be hazardous to his health. | |

Homicide: Life on the Street: Pembleton's smoking is treated as one of just another quirk, but he's frequently chided for it by other characters. He's eventually forced to quit after having a stroke. Kellerman's introductory season established he had recently quit smoking. Once he Took a Level in Jerkass and became a more unlikable character, he started smoking again. |

Resident Evil: Zigzagged with Chris. He smokes in the uncut intro of the first game; no mention is made of it for years afterwards, but circumstances lead to him chain-smoking in Resident Evil 6. Piers is quick to call him out on it. Leon Kennedy takes measures to follow this. In Resident Evil 4, he turns down a smoke when offered, and, as shown in the page quote, offers Luis Sera gum when he asks for a smoke. His early character concepts from 2 did depict him as a smoker (with the only evidence in the final game being that his personal item is a Zippo lighter), so he presumably quit at some point. |

Metal Gear: Solid Snake and Naked Snake/Big Boss will inevitably get criticized by at least one member of their supporting teams for their smoking habit. Averted in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, in which just about every member of Big Boss' MSF smokes or otherwise uses tobacco. Most of the series relies on Do Not Do This Cool Thing to get this trope across, but Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots plays this painfully straight as Old Snake keeps losing his cigarettes or getting them confiscated and, at one point, is coughing away with an oxygen mask and still asks for a smoke. It's a powerful moment when he decides to give it up after learning he no longer has to fight. | |

Wolverine: Wolverine could well have been the poster boy for the opposite Trope most of his career, rarely seen without a cigarette or occasionally a cigar; his mutant Healing Factor let him smoke without it hurting him. However, in one 80s story arc, he lost the healing factor for a short time, and trying to light up almost made him sick. It was enough to convince him to quit. In an '80s issue of Uncanny X-Men, Wolverine and Kitty are sitting on the steps of Kitty's college, talking over the problem of the issue. Wolvie has a cigar that is constantly making Kitty cough. Finally having had enough of it, she snaps, takes the stogie from Wolvie's mouth shouting "GIVE ME THAT!" Wolverine replies "Your funeral, Pun'kin," as she takes a puff to spite him. She breaks out in a coughing fit and gets sick to her stomach. Wolverine merely replies "Warned you." She asks how he could tolerate something like that, and he says it's an acquired taste, along with his healing factor protecting him from the harmful effects, reminding Kitty that she doesn't have either of those. She says "No fear of that. This is one vice I'll skip... Assuming I live..." | |

Marvel Universe: Back in the 80s, Marvel produced a Very Special Episode team-up comic of Spider-Man, Luke Cage (who was still going by Power Man at the time), and Storm where they had to confront a supervillain called Smokescreen whose Evil Plan was to hook a track star on cigarettes so that he could make money betting against the kid when all that smoking started affecting his performance. Smokescreen had the power to generate clouds of cigarette smoke that he could blow at people and make them choke, allowing him to somehow overcome Storm. And then after he was defeated, Spider-Man delivered an Anvilicious talk about how awful smoking is and how you should never, ever do it to the reader. This was when Wolverine, Ben Grimm, Nick Fury, and other heroes were still shown smoking in almost every appearance. | |

As early as 1938 (when most of the world would reject this trope) Porky Pig starred in a Looney Tunes commercial called Wholly Smoke that emphasized the dangers of smoking and made the habit look about as "cool" as self-mutilation. | |

Brain's latest scheme to Take Over the World involves becoming the Joe Cool-esque mascot for a tobacco company, and all the executives at the company are shown as sleazebags with terrible smoker's coughs. Hell, the company president is a wheelchair-bound invalid who looks like he's pushing a hundred even though he's only in his forties. Brain gives up on the scheme and vows to kick the habit when he sees the execs plan to use him to market cigarettes to kids. | |

Seinfeld: Smoking is a huge turn-off to Elaine; she ends her romantic relationship with baseball hall-of-famer Keith Hernandez after discovering that he's a smoker. Kramer, who is normally portrayed as being all but irresistible in-universe, becomes "hideous" after he turns his apartment into a smoking lounge, with his face becoming leathery and his teeth turning brown. He ends up working with lawyer Jackie Chiles to take tobacco companies to court for destroying his looks. When George is trying to get out of his engagement with Susan, he tries to take up smoking to get her to break up with him. Susan is disgusted, just as planned - unfortunately, George is just as disgusted, and he is unable to keep up the habit convincingly. |

Peter's former wife Mary Jane Watson smoked as a teenager to "look cool" and quit later, but when Carnage first appeared, she started smoking out of stress, which only got worse when Peter's long-thought-dead parents showed up. After several arcs where she tried to "cope" using them, Peter used some "shock therapy" taking her to visit his one-time foil Nick Katzenberg, who was in the hospital with terminal lung cancer. (Having lost weight to the point of being gaunt, lost most of his hair due to chemo, coughing up blood — very typical of a cancer patient.) It was enough for her to quit cold turkey. | |

This Side of Paradise: Myra is not at all pleased with Amory's smoking habit when he tells her about it, giving her an unpleasant image of Amory suffering from the negative side effects of smoking. She insists Amory drop the habit, telling him that it'll stunt his growth. Amory tells her that he doesn't care and that he had seen some horrible things. Later on, Myra still tells him to stop smoking and that she cares after Amory responds that nobody cares about smoking. | |

The news reporter in Perfect Vermin is seen smoking cigarettes off-screen between levels as indicated by his ashtray. His Jerkass behavior, Gonkish appearance, and discolored yellow and rotting teeth do not paint a cool image of him. He's also dying of lung cancer as a result of his addiction. | |

Fraggle Rock: In the North American version, Traveling Matt encounters people smoking cigarettes and cigars, which he thinks are tubes they use to light fires inside their mouths. He notes that, judging from the way they cough, it can't be healthy. Matt throws a pitcher of water on a man smoking a cigar to keep the "fire in the man's mouth" from getting "out of control." | |

Devil May Cry: Dante was explicitly designed with this in mind, Word of God declaring that he's "too cool to smoke." His Continuity Reboot counterpart in DmC: Devil May Cry was initially shown smoking in the first trailer, but again, Word of God states that he did smoke before but has kicked the habit. In Devil May Cry 5, Nero dislikes Nico's smoking habit, though he'll light a cigarette for her. V shows he dislikes it too by fanning away the smoke. The game also has a message in the intro/Mission 1 cutscene stating that the game does not promote smoking. |

That said, his death is the result of pissing off the Joker, a former hitman of his, while trying to get help to deal with Batman, not his smoking. | |

Spider-Man: Smoking big, smelly cigars is one of the most annoying habits of J. Jonah Jameson, Peter's Mean Boss at the Daily Bugle. Employees often call him "Chimney Lungs" behind his back, and often wonder if the habit contributes to his Hair-Trigger Temper. Peter's former wife Mary Jane Watson smoked as a teenager to "look cool" and quit later, but when Carnage first appeared, she started smoking out of stress, which only got worse when Peter's long-thought-dead parents showed up. After several arcs where she tried to "cope" using them, Peter used some "shock therapy" taking her to visit his one-time foil Nick Katzenberg, who was in the hospital with terminal lung cancer. (Having lost weight to the point of being gaunt, lost most of his hair due to chemo, coughing up blood — very typical of a cancer patient.) It was enough for her to quit cold turkey. |

These include The Pink Panther, the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, Olive Oyl (who suffered from secondhand pipe smoke from Popeye, who ironically built up an immunity to lung cancer from the antioxidants in his spinach), and Fred Flintstone (who speaks through an electrolarynx as a result of smoking too many Winston cigarettes). | |

The Detective in Disco Elysium thinks Smoking Is Cool (and during his youth, it perhaps was), but it's wrecked his lungs, aged him from the strikingly handsome Precinct 'rock star' he was in his 30s to a sad, bloated old man, and turned his fingers brown. Klaasje chain-smokes menthol cigarettes, and it's slowly ruining her movie-star good looks (the Detective notes that Klaasje's glittery disco catsuit, close-up, is covered with burn marks from the cigarette ash). The Deserter smokes and it's part of his overall joyless, miserable old age; and while Kim smokes, in part because he loves the cool image of it (and Harry praises how cool he looks while doing so), he is also ashamed of himself for falling for the affectation, notes how unhealthy and pointless it is, and limits himself to exactly one cigarette a day. | |

By 1969, however, Lois is diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and tells her daughter Kara Kent that smoking is what also ended up killing Perry White. By 1979, Lois is in the hospital and on death's door. Thankfully, that wonderful Dr. Holurt has taken over her treatment. | |

Babs attempts to enjoy her carrot cake, but is constantly bothered by Roderick and Rubella Rat from Perfecto Prep who are smoking cigarettes despite being in the non-smoking section of the restaurant. She tries to be nice, but when they refuse, of course, y'know, This Means War! | |

The teacher's choice of wording (that anyone could try to give you a cigarette, including your best friend) made Rowley too paranoid to walk with Greg to school for a month, and Greg notes that the lesson didn't do too much for him because he'd already been put off of smoking after walking in on his grandpa doing it in the bathroom. | |

Family Guy: The entire plot of the episode "Secondhand Smoke" revolves around this. Peter takes up smoking to have an excuse to quit working, and quickly becomes addicted; the episode does not pull any punches on how much havoc Peter's wreaking on his body and health by doing so. Eventually, the episode ends with Peter wondering how things will turn back to normal for him. Lois tells him the effects of smoking can't be overturned. Peter just asks for a cutaway gag, but when it returns to him, he is still in the same worse shape, causing him to say: "Oh, crap!". Cue the end credits. | |

The people behind the show had to fight the censor to get the cigar on the air to show how "Naughty" the character was. In The Official Guide, they admitted that in modern times, the cat would probably take his stogie outside to smoke. | |

How I Met Your Mother: "Last Cigarette Ever" reveals that all five main characters are former smokers, but Ted kept this from his children out of embarrassment. The episode shows how smoking negatively affects them all: Lily's throat gets so bad she sounds like Harvey Fierstein, Ted struggles to climb a few flights of stairs, Barney burns a hole in his beloved tie, and Marshall's boss (with whom he started smoking to impress) has a heart attack. They all try to quit, suffering drastic withdrawal, and the episode ends with Ted explaining how they all quit eventually, with Ted's last cigarette being two weeks after he started dating his future wife. | |

You Can't Do That on Television dealt with the topic of smoking in two episodes, which, while they focused at length on the health risks and "grossness" of the habit, did so in the show's typical satirical fashion. The first episode, made in 1981, is arguably the better-written and more intelligent of the two and even features the show's man of many characters, Les Lye, coming out of character at the end of the episode to deliver an anti-smoking message. The second of the two smoking-themed episodes (made in 1989) posited the theory that the show's trademark green slime is actually mucus scraped from smokers' lungs. | |

FLCL: Samejima Mamimi is the only character in the show who smokes, but it's not seen as a positive thing by the other characters and Mamimi herself is a little too damaged to carry off the look. Additionally, whenever she starts chain-smoking, it's usually a sign that her mental state is on a downward curve. | |
