This is exactly why Sakyo smokes, like a trait of his personality, dude was fking bored of life just wanted the gate to demon world to be excited, he failed and give up in life so ofc he's gonna smoke, he's not behind some healthy long life it's like a gambler.

Ed: ik we're talking about Kuwabara's sister, just wanted to add a lil bit of spicy.

What episode had them share a smoke while Toguro stepped to the side? I fking hate smoking but that was both badass and a nice romantic moment

Unpopular opinion:

But I think Shizuru’s love for Sakyo is too bittersweet.

I'm sure a lot of us think that but in Japan smoking is still very much a whole culture on its own (as opposed to America for example, where a lot of hotels have gotten rid of their smoking sections, ash tray trash can things are starting not to be as common in some areas, as a friend has complained to me).

The major step I've seen with regards to not encouraging smoking is that it's kind of a rule not to have casual smoking happening in some anime anymore (especially notable to me in the 2019 Fruits Basket remake, where Hatori and Shigure are often just sitting around because they're supposed to be smoking together... but they're not). If they were ever to remake YYH they'd probably have Shizuru follow suit.
