Well, smoking isn't the only reason people get lung cancer it's just one of the most-common.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
True, Kalshane, but it kinda mattered that he did it to himself.

Understood. I'm only familiar with the character in passing (but looking forward to the show) but I can understand that the why makes a difference.

Next thing you know, you can't have sex outside of marriage, get drunk, murder or rape people on TV, and that will stop all of that from happening in real life.
Actually, while I think it's cool to stop presenting characters smoking, since it is such an accessible vice for kids to get into (and every time I see a character onscreen smoking, I want a butt), it seems a bit silly when it's not just a whim of new writers, but a character trait and plot point (and also and in-built PSA: hey kids, don't smoke -you'll get lung cancer!) of an established character beyond the network.
I'd also assume that Constantine is primetime, so all that other stuff we don't want minors seeing or emulating will still be there.

Maybe the worry is that kids will get into calling up demons as a way to avoid the consequences of smoking?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Under the Dome: Last night's episode seemed like a completely different show from last season, as in a good one. Probably because Stephen King wrote it. I'm skeptical of the show's ability to keep it up for the rest of the season. And I'm pissed off that they killed at least one (possibly two) of the characters I actually like, while Junior lives.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, I wasn't even going to bother watching this season, especially since BKV left. Who'd they kill off?

Sheriff Esquivel and probably Angie. Although people don't seem to be totally staying dead. The Dome is speaking through dead people, very much like The First.

Boo, are they only going to leave the jackasses alive or something?

The jackasses and the men, apparently.
