  • I remember reading a long time ago that there's an herbal (no, not making a marijuana joke) alternative that can be smoked.

    Especially when they need to show, e.g., underaged smoking.

    In any case, probably not good to be inhaling it though.

    As far as why? Because it's in the script.

    Also, I'm always smokin'.

  • Lots of actors already smoke in their personal lives off screen. Also a really good actor will do whatever they have to in order to commit to a role.

  • I know that on some shoots like In The Cut they sometimes ran out of herbal smokes and people had to smoke real cigs and hated it

  • People often do things that are not good for them in the long term. This is not news, is it?
