Female Celebrity Smoking List -
Keeps track of scenes in movies and TV when an
actress smokes cigarettes, cigars, etc. The
website author apparently enjoys watching
people smoke as in this sample review from a
1985 "TWILIGHT ZONE episode "Button, Button"
with Mare Winningham where he observes "She
chain-smokes throughout, primarily to define
her 'bitch' character. Her smoking is good,
with many shots of her dangling, lighting-up
and puffing (though few of her exhaling), but
her character is so unattractive that it's
difficult to fully enjoy it." So, if you're
into Tobacco or you just need some examples of
when and where smoking occurs on the big and
little screen (TV) then this site can be
useful. The site also features a section
called "Smoking from all Sides" that offers
links to sites that cover both the "pro" and
the "con" issues of smoking.
