Dead Smokers




When trying to make a point, it's important to not contradict yourself or give opponents an 'out' in proving you wrong.

Case in point, this list of ''dead celebrity smokers'', which advocates against the circulation (via film or the media) of ''cool people'' and celebs smoking, featuring the likes of Nat 'King' Cole, Winston Churchill and Sammy Davis Jr., but also still living celebs such as Johnny Depp, Russell Crowe and Jennifer Aniston.

I mean sure, smoking is bad, and showing smokers in the media encourages not just kids but all sorts of impressionable people to light up a cancer stick. But hosting a site of ''dead'' celebrities with many of them being still alive kind of moots the point, doesn't it?
