Can you recommend a Stephen King short story that has smoking in it?

Answer 1

One short story where smoking might be present is 'Children of the Corn'. In the rural and somewhat desolate setting, it's possible that some of the characters, like the adults or the wayward teens, could be depicted as smokers. This would add to the overall atmosphere of the story, which is filled with a sense of dread and the unknown. However, it's not the main focus of the story but more of an element that could enhance the mood.

Answer 2

I'm not certain of a particular short story that focuses on smoking. But in 'The Body', which was later made into the movie 'Stand By Me', there might be references to smoking as it is set in a time when smoking was more common among teens and adults alike. It's a coming - of - age story with a lot of elements of friendship and adventure, and smoking could be part of the backdrop of the era it's set in.

Answer 3

There isn't a short story that I can name immediately where smoking is a major plot point. But in Stephen King's general body of work, given his penchant for creating realistic characters and settings, it's likely that in stories set in small towns or among groups of people in tense situations, smoking would be part of the scenery. For example, in stories with a group of people in a bar or a late - night gathering, smoking might be casually mentioned or depicted.
