What do you think about women who smoke the occasional cigar?
I remember when I was a young adult, my reaction to seeing a woman smoking a cigar. I thought she was unladylike and tough, and a bunch of other things I won’t say here. Back then, I associated cigars with poker-playing, beer drinking men. I had no other context for such an image. Years later, I view things differently. Depending on the context, a women smoking a cigar can be viewed as a person of power, independence, and self-assurance. Someone who doesn’t limit pleasure to behaviors associated with gender stereotypes.
Forget about the health issues for a second. What’s your reaction / response to these women?
