Why are there no cigarettes on Star Trek?

[techs]

To the best of my recollection no one ever lights up a cigarrette.
If they can make Synthehol, can't they make a non toxic cigarrette?

 

[Beev]

Why?

 

[Macamus Prime]

Because it was cured in the future,... uh, smoke addiction that is.

 

[moshquerade]

there is no crying in baseball just like there is no smoking in space.

You are so gonna get banned for that thread title.

 

[JTsyo]

they just go to the hollodeck for a smoke, with safeties in place of course.

i really don't see why, the thread has nothing to do with gay people.

OP: same reason there was no poverty or hunger!

Why are there no fags on Star Trek?

It's Roddenberry's hippie-commie utopia, and he probably decreed it should be a smoke-free zone. Notice that people don't say Frack either, that wouldn't be mellow, man.

 

[HAL9000]

Because it's not cool. Star Trek was cool.

 

[TheNinja]

you start a lot of stupid threads

Flames are to be avoided in a closed loop system

 

[Patranus]

Why do you never get banned for spamming ATOT?

Yep, can't be polluting your oxygen supply with tobacco smoke, artificial or otherwise.

I find it hilarious that he crybabies in the PFI section to get a thread removed, yet sits in his basement and makes attention whore threads by the dozens daily.

Get laid OP. Actually, just go outside. You need to start somewhere.

Roddenberry made the decision.

There are examples of smoking (cigs, pipes, cigars) in the movies and later series'.

Cigs aren't described as fags in Tech's country. He's using it purposefully to get a reaction out of people who he knows full well will read the title as he truly intended, referring to gay people. To see if he can get away with it, yeah?

He does this all the time. It's a typical Techs tactic.

If that's the case then he's wrong, George Takei is gay...

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Because it's kind of hard to ride a Harley in corridors.

Really obvious.

[SlowSpyder]

Sulu was into pipe smoking... not sure if that counts.

Well that's understandable... look at them with their... oooh and the...

They always have a stream of narcotics flowing from their uniform badge. Smoking just lost its luster after being on what is like a Heroine high all day long.
