Semi organic in that it is organically inspired by older tobacco advertising

I don't watch much broadcast tv so I can't comment on it, but Netflix shows have been pushing smoking for a while. The latest anime season has a couple shows that put smoking at the forefront. It's not just old advertising, the smoke machine is alive and well in modern media.

I've noticed more manga depicting smoking as "cool", "mysterious" or "sexy" and like.. no? That's fucking gross no thanks. At least that chain-smoker catwoman anime seems to put it in a very negative light? (I forgot the name of it)
