Hey guys, I realize that smoking a cigarette is not about conforming to a set of guidelines. But, I am curious about the unspoken “rules,” general practices, and traditions of cigarette smoking; the common etiquette, habits between the sexes i.e., cigarette placement, hand placement as one bring the cigarette up/down to their mouth/torso(palm up/palm down, where to rest ones hand), lucky cigarette, packing, etc. Specifically, from the Contemporary Period, the American “Tobacco golden age” (1920 – 1939) but also trends that followed post World War II through the 50’s 60’s etc. In the United States, the act of smoking was once the epitome of masculinity and fashion. Following the turn of the century, there came a sigma towards smoking and now much knowledge seems hard to find if not entirely lost? It is often not talked about is most social circles. Any thoughts or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
