smoking

Can I ask what people think of the special non-toxic cigarettes that are smoked on stage?

Do they taste the same as normal cigarettes?

Do the audience members find the the smoke created more offensive than the real thing?

By omitting smoking from a play, does the mood of the play change? Or can the smoking act be removed from plays completely?

One further point to this

One further point to this is that herbal cigarettes actually taste better than they smell, an important consideration if using this on the stage :)
