Lmao this quote by Jericho tho

“Really, out of all the things, that’s what they are mad at?’ They were very adamant, they didn’t want any smoking on the show and if we did it again, I don’t know if this was used but the way it was told me was, ‘we’ll pull the show if you guys do it again.’ Alright, I don’t need to be smoking. I just did it because It thought it was an asshole thing to do. Apparently, so did they.”

Once again the bias against smoking rears it's ugly head.

Can cut people, throw them off buildings, hit them with cars but smoking.....nuh uh.

I remember reading something about movies getting an R rating if there is too much smoking in them, even if there is no violence or nudity. I don't get why this is such a big deal, and I don't like smoking in general.

I think the reason Networks are so strict on it is studies showing that a lot of teenagers started smoking because they saw people they like on TV smoking. So dumb reason but that's the reason I have to guess even if it makes 0 sense
