It's a 50/50 when it comes to cigarettes for the Right side. When I lived in the south, it was always considered "masculine" to smoke cigarettes (and even more masculine if you smoked expensive Cigars) and you were basically a wimp if you smoke stuff like Marijuana (even though I'm pretty damn sure many of them probably smoked it behind closed doors). And then there's the religious right side that tends to villainize smoking (or drugs in general) through shame tactics. It really depends.
With that said, I am also glad that smoking, in general, is taking a down turn. I'm even read somewhere that vaping/e-cigs have gone down as well, but cannibas usage has increased.
