found that Netflix shows featured images of tobacco more often than broadcast shows, presumably now thatStranger Things
was a major offender, with the Truth Initiative finding 262 tobacco depictions in its second season, up from 182 in the first season.Netflix says that they’re taking the report seriously, since, all jokes aside, smoking is extremely bad for you, and studies show kids tend to smoke more when they see cigarettes and other tobacco products depicted on screen.
Of course, you’d be hard-pressed to find a person without a cigarette in their hand from, say, 1760 to 2002, historically speaking, so it’s hard to know what Netflix will count in the “historically important” category.

Or is it genius? Netflix, hit me up.
