It makes me uncomfortable that the male lead (and pretty much all his friends) smoke cigarettes, an act apparently innocent that adds an aura of sophistication. There are a lot of young readers with impresionable minds who might assume that smoking is cool, glamorous or even soothing just like the characters imply. In truth, tabaquism is a deadly epidemic that affects all levels of society and the young ones are the most vulnerable targets to become addicted. it also shocked me to repeatedly read throughout many chapters that smoking in public places is allowed in China without any regard for secondhand smoke. Seriously, It's time to raise awareness!!!
