Somehow you leapt to the conclusion that Big Tobacco wants Fox’s shows to show characters smoking, without mentioning anything about characters smoking. Have you ever considered that maybe Lucifer’s showmakers want to make the character look like a debonair bad boy, so they show him engaging in vices?

No, what I was showing is that Fox has no moral qualms over taking Big Tobacco payola, they have done so before and got caught.

Every single puff on TV is paid for. Debonair dudes dont smoke.
