From The Comics Journal message board… The topic is basically, why aren’t characters in super-hero comic books shown smoking anymore?
Posting: The reason why there is no smoking
in marvel is because [Marvel comics editor in cheif, Joe] Quesada has banned it. Not even Wolverine or the Punisher can smoke anymore. Quesada believes that children look up to Marvel superheros, and that by having smoking in thier comics kids will
want to smoke…Quesada is on a high horse about this because his father died of lung cancer.
Response: Too bad his father didn’t die from making shitty comics.
