A Photo History Of Celebrities Looking Cool While Smoking

World No Tobacco Day is approaching like a cloud of second-hand smoke. Celebrities didn't get the memo.

From Botox to Apple computers to sex tapes, celebrities have traditionally been the ones who've dictated what’s cool out here. Problems occur, however, if you’re trying to keep up. Celebrities have a reputation for being spastic, which means, what’s hot today can be ice cold by tomorrow.

There is, however, one activity that seemingly has never gone out of style throughout our 70-something-year obsession with celebrity: smoking. Not smoking weed, obviously, but cigarettes (though weed is very cool, it’s still very illegal). Since the black and white era, a cigarette in the hand of a celebrity has been the epitome of cool, and not much has changed.

Tomorrow is World No Tobacco Day, a day that encourages people to not intake any kind of tobacco. They might as well have called it World Be Square Day. The ideas of World No Tobacco Day literally go against everything celebrities have taught us. So, we say fuck that day, and ask that you join us while we celebrate smoking, by flooding you with a gang of pictures of actors, actresses, models, and anyone that mattered lighting up a cig. Joe Camel would be proud.
