Progression!\u201dAnd a third questioned: \u201cWe&#8217;re glamorizing smoking again? Sigh.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCan we stop with the cigarettes?\u201d penned a fourth, while a fifth agreed: \u201cSo sick of the cigarettes. So off-putting. It\u2019s NOT cool. It\u2019s cringe.\u201dA sixth brutally wrote: \u201cIt&#8217;s tied to the whole Y2K indie sleaze aesthetics, and then shallow people jump onto the trend. This era is mostly stolen remakes with little to no deviation from the original, then sold as homages, references, or reprisals. It&#8217;s so unoriginal that death sticks are back on trend. Whenever a celebrity does posing with their cigs, it only shows how vapid they are.\u201d Ouch.Meanwhile, others chimed in with: \u201cSmoking isn&#8217;t sexy\u201d and \u201cSTOP ADVERTISING FOR CIGARETTES! Have we not learned absolutely anything as a society? I keep seeing cigarettes being commercialised everywhere suddenly. Who is paying these creators and photographers?\u201dAnd Johnson isn\u2019t the only one to face this kind of criticism, as cigarettes have been popping up left, right, and centre at the moment, despite the UK&#8217;s recent aim to create a &#8216;smoke-free&#8217; generation.Back in July, Kylie Jenner was met with similar backlash when she posted a snap to Instagram sipping wine and smoking<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dakota Johnson has sparked a debate after promoting an unhealthy habit during her latest appearance on Saturday Night Live.The 37-year-old actress, who\u2019s currently promoting her new movie&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":57802,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":27,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57801"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57803,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57801\/revisions\/57803"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/57802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
