Socially acceptable.
How do you react when you see a guy in a suit smoking outside his company? Would you still want to do business with him if you found out that he was the CEO?
Even if he is a dad?
What about a woman who is smoking in a tznius skirted suit? Would you want to do business with her? What if she was the CEO?
And if you found out that she was a mother would you feel the same way as a father smoking?
What if both this father and this mother (both married to separate nonsmokers) don’t smoke indoors and interact with their children for the same number of hours and affection.
—Does a smoking father not get more social slack than a smoking mother?
