famous 1930s

Why was cigarette smoking seen as fashionable in the olden days?

In allot of films I have seen (esp ones from the 1930s, 1940′s, 1950′s and 1960′s) nearly all the characters are shown smoking cigarettes and all the famous actors were shown smoking in magazines.

Why?

Many many people smoked during those times (not just the rich and upper class). It was a popular thing to do (it was considered “cool” ). One of the main reasons people did it was because people didn’t know how bad it actually was to smoke, chew, etc. At that time, they didn’t know all of the negative effects smoking had on the smoker and the people around the smoker. Just like it used to be fashionable to be a little overweight.
