Am I the only one who was impressed on how much cigarettes were smoked in this movie? Maybe it was some kind of a hidden advertising by big tobacco companies, like it has been since a long time in Hollywood? (just remember "Waterworld"!)
Never noticed it. Except for ganja smoking.

Yes, there was a ton of smoking in this film. This was when tobacco companies were paying millions to studios to place smoking in their movies, but before the studios got shamed into having to refuse the money (hence the current disclaimers of no compensation for tobacco products that appear at the end of recent films.)

Do people forget that smoking was still fairly common in the early '90s? You could smoke most anywhere (e.g., malls, restaurants, bars). In fact, McDonald's didn't ban smoking until '94. The latter '90s is when they really started cracking on it. By the early 2000s, it was pretty much forbidden everywhere. In short, the movie was just reflecting the times.
sharenever got smoking. It smells, stains you, is bad for you and the "high" is virtually non-existent. where's the appeal?
