There were a few novels in the ancient language that he could recommend, including Book of Troubled Times, Spiritual Realm Walker, Tang People's Table, and King of Tamer. These novels all had plots where the male protagonist smoked a cigarette. However, due to the limitations of the search results, there might be other similar novels that were not mentioned.

It could be part of the character's image to show a rebellious side. Or perhaps it's a symbolic gesture to represent something in the story. But smoking in cartoons isn't something to encourage.
Well, such a cartoon could be the result of a creator's misguided attempt at being edgy or trying to draw attention through controversy. But it's not a good or positive thing to show.
I have no idea. Maybe it's some kind of artistic expression or a fictional scene.
Definitely not suitable for children. Images like a cat smoking a cigarette can have negative influences on their perception and might encourage unhealthy behaviors. Moreover, it doesn't set a good example for kids.
A smoker's story involved his family. He smoked in the house despite his wife and children's complaints. His children started having respiratory problems. His wife was constantly worried about their children's health. The family relationship became strained. As time went on, he also started having chest pains himself. He finally realized the horror of his smoking habit not only for himself but also for his family. He then tried hard to quit for the sake of his loved ones.
Maybe it's to add an edgy or rebellious element to the character's image.
In Disney cartoons, cigarette smoking is almost nonexistent. Disney aims to provide entertainment that promotes healthy and wholesome values for children and audiences of all ages.
It could symbolize rebellion or bad habits. Maybe it's used for comical effect or to show a negative character trait.
It's very inappropriate. Presenting a cartoon character like that can normalize smoking, which is a serious health issue. We should encourage positive and safe behaviors in cartoons instead.
It's highly inappropriate. Smoking is a bad behavior and showing it with a cartoon dog can make it seem less serious or even cool, which is not the case at all.
