Fake cigs are a fairly recent phenomenon. Kirk Douglas claimed he had to smoke for a role, and got addicted for ten years.

He also said he quit by doing what his Russian peasant father had done: he would carry a pack around w/him in his pocket, then when he wanted to smoke he would take out the pack, look at it, and ask "Who stronger? Me? You?", then put the pack back in his pocket.

FWIW we may end up seeing a lot less smoking in movies, as free speech lib Rob Reiner wants to make smoking an automatic R rating.

Trivia tidbit: in the WWII movie Pearl Harbor not one person smokes.

That’s horrible. He should file suit. That could really shorten his life.
