A little smoke by here, a little smoke by there: Cigarettes

(F)ashionable (M)ondays are (L)ovable

She's back!

And she found a hot topic for this sweet Monday... Smoking in Montreal~

This skyline set with dragged clouds reminds me of smoke. Oh no, it's not a coincidence if I chose it. Today, I'll write on the rise of nicotine.

Since when do people smoke? I cannot answer. However, I can confide that lately in Montreal, as elsewhere, cigarette is back into vogue. I am only speculating, but I think that the artistic universe influences increasingly our life style. I am not talking about derived products. Our daily habits, as simply as the way we dress or the tea we drink, come from what we decided to watch. 

Concretely, seeing your favorite singer wearing a leather jacket, you be tempted to buy one too. In a more intense case, it perhaps defines your new masculine or feminine ideal. This short lesson of psychology merely intended to explain that women, but especially men, are reintroduced to the cigarette, despite the professionals who condemns it. Why?

Following a few international male idols who are showing their sex appeal through a cloud of bewitching smoke:

Alex Turner

Kurt Cobain

Choi Seung Hyun

The Beatles

Whether they are dead, old, rapper or junkies, all these artists carry an aura of mystery thanks to the iconic object that held between their lips. 

I must admit, I would not have put them on this list if they did not attract me. Although nicotine kills, it attracts women like flies. Of course, we can say that there are always exceptions. I use to be one. But I must admit that I have not been able to resist at this futile charm. 

Now the question is whether it works or not with the fairer sex. Women who smoke, are they pretty? 

I hope you had a great time reading my "free-thinking" article. Smoking is bad for health. I hope you understand that six or seven cigarettes (in your life) won't kill you, but if you keep smoking, it can.

I wanted to point out that this is a trend, and I'm fine with it, as long as I don't directly smell it!
