    I only saw a couple episodes, but it seems that making you feel gross is the point…

    I’ve seen a lot of media that glorifies smoking, but little that makes cigarettes look as disgusting as chainsmoker cat.

    For that reason, I kinda feel like banning it on the basis that it encourages smoking is misguided.

      as someone who smoked for years watching this hit close to home and made me not want to smoke. The first few episodes were like “yeah I’ve done that”. smoking butts, finding a “long one” and being thrilled about it. being broke and trying to make a pack last until next pay day only to smoke them all in a day. smoking one that had a bit of “slime” on it. It’s pathetic and indeed gross and i think that’s the whole point of the show. you can’t watch that and idolize the characters, they’re gross.

      No you see, we, adults, have to conform art to snoons’s sensibilities. If the Anti Press Authoritarian says it’s gross, then even 三國演義 needs to go, accordingly to Taiwanese law!
      We wouldn’t want gross things now, would we?

        Hey AntiBullyRanger just wanted to say some things cause your point’s not wrong, in fact I’d agree with most if not all of them.

        Just one thing:
        You might want to try being less antagonistic when arguing your points as it just makes people want to disagree with you even though the person you’re arguing against might also be on the same side as you.

        I find it really unfortunate but reading the current comment chain (as of Aug 21 @10 a.m. UTC) gave me this impression of what’s going on.

      Fair. I suppose the episode I seen was more blase about it, like it was just normal for all the characters in the show to smoke which isn’t good, but could be worse.

        In episode 1, the main character is so addicted to cigarettes she smokes a few that had fallen into feces on the street…
