Fashion's Elite Trying to Make Smoking Cool Again...

No thanks to fashion for encouraging 
the "Who Cares?" attitude towards 
smoking when we've fought so hard 
to shove cigarettes out of the public eye. 
These spoiled little "model girls" are 
unfortunate role models and this 
resurrection of "smoking is cool" is ugly 
and irresponsible. Dangerously
ignorant behavior they're flaunting.
Anything for publicity. 
They know how their actions affect people.
All for more followers in Instagram? 
Seriously? They're undoing years of work 
so many have done to stop Big Tobacco.
Is the Industry offering them payola to undue the truth?
They need to quit this bullshit and apologize.
Nicoteenagers.

China & Indonesia seem to be having

that condones & encourages the habit...
