It's a rare scene when the the lead character in Peaky Blinders isn't smoking a cigarette.

Not exactly empirical, but I’m quite sure I am noticing a marked increase in people smoking proper cigs in new TV series and Films (UK and US movies/series).
I’ve been aware of it for this year at least - but it’s either ramping up or it’s that effect where you never noticed a particular car model until you buy one yourself, then spot them everywhere - am I seeing more smokers because I am looking for more smokers....?
Anyway, I wonder just how much funding is Phillip Morris and chums putting into Netflix and Amazon Prime....
As an aside, and only thought this as I write the above, I see almost nobody on screen vaping.

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
They have to be movie set cigarettes though surely? As Ralph pointed out above Tommy Shelby has always got a cigarette in his mouth. Today’s health and safety would never allow this to happen.
Herbal, apparently.

I hadn't really noticed an increase in cigarette smoking on tv, apart from the almost constant smoking in the aforementioned Peaky Blinders which is obviously set back in the day when virtually everyone smoked. I'll look out for it in other programmes now you have mentioned it though. But you would think vaping would make more of an appearance in up to date dramas, particularly the likes of soaps.

So clever my foot fell off.
I’m talking about modern, current era stuff.
I understand the period drama stuff (although Peaky Blinders actually made me feel ill the amount Tommy smokes) but check out the modern stuff.
MrRobot caught my eye recently... like an add for fags
