Help! Watching Mad Men makes me want to start smoking, because they look so elegant when they do it?

Do you watch it? Do you get that urge too?

I hate Mad Men... dislike shows that are intended to be dramatic/non-comedy though. Because of that show there have been all these hipster faggots walking around with Lucky Strikes, pocket squares and pomade looking like douchebags, hungry for the next fad to tell them how to be a mindless bitch.

If you simply want to look cool/"elegant", vape like the high school faggots/pussies. Keep smoking to those with a critically low dopamine supply, planning a heart attack or work as a flight controller.

lol if you don't like this opinion then you probably shouldn't start smoking. Unless you're the incredibly small number of people who can simply "smoke socially", you will eventually get addicted. I thought it couldn't happen to me and it didn't for about 2 years, but now my habit is pretty bad. That's how the cocksuckers get you, they make it look cool with some male-model looking executive with perfect hair, and never show some wrinkly motherfucker puffing away in an alley. People treat you differently... some asshole will fake cough, people will comment on how you smell, and all the hobos/freeloaders will ask you for a cigarette. Soon you will need to step out for a smoke break at least every 4 hours, guys will think you're trashy, you can spend up to $100 a week on this habit... but if you fantasize on sucking Don Draper off maybe sucking on a 100 menthol is the next best thing

Geez, you sound like drama queen. Chill a little. Have a Lucky Strike!

lol, all I will say is that smoking is not what Mad Men makes it look like. You are a fool to be that impressionable, especially at your age.

lol Mad Men is like the longest cigarette commercial ever created. If marketing wasn't so powerful, companies wouldn't waste so much money on ads.

It's okay to admit to have flaws, you know. Having the urge to do something, but don't do it, because it's bad for you (or other people), that's willpower. Oh I forgot, I'm talking to a smoker.
Betty Draper only looks so elegant with her cigarette, because you cannot smell her.

I have watched a couple of episodes before and although it is portrayed as elegant, it is not. It is waste of money you could use for something else. Your clothes and hair will smell and it's extremely difficult habit to kick. And not to forget that it is not good for your health at all. I've been smoking for a very long time now and had numerous failed attempts to quit smoking. Seems hypocritical of me to tell you not to since I'm doing it myself, but there are no benefits to smoking.

Made me want to drink, smoke, get married and have an affair with a French man :p that show is ridiculous when it comes to indulging one's vices. Anyways, I don't wanna die with a hole in my throat, so that's enough incentive for me to pass on smoking

I can legally drink, so I don't get that. The urge to smoke is so ridiculous, because the neighbors under my apartment smoke on the balcony all the time and I HATE THE SMELL!!

Think of a the money you could save not buying ciggies that could go towards a fabulous wardrobe instead (another Mad Men specialty).
