Subject: 'Celebrities are making cigarettes look cool again — and that has doctors worried'

"For years, cigarettes were the embarrassing habit everyone was trying to hide. Public campaigns hammered home the risks, offices and bars went smoke-free, and even famous smokers kept their packs out of frame. Now, the visuals are shifting again, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Pop singers name-check cigarettes in new tracks, treating them more like emotional props than health hazards. Music videos and red-carpet photos show stars with a cigarette in hand the way they once showed off a latte or a designer bag. On social media, smoking appears not as something shameful, but as part of a curated aesthetic: moody lighting, smudged eyeliner, a cigarette glowing at the edge of the frame."
