I'm not sure specifically if there is one short story that is solely about smoking. But in his works, smoking can be a minor detail like a character smoking a cigarette to relieve stress during a tense situation. His stories are so diverse that it could be tucked away in one of his many short stories.
One common type is about the health issues. For example, a family member who smoked might develop respiratory problems like asthma or bronchitis. It's a story that many families face.
In Lao She's novel Camel Xiangzi, there was a character named Xiangzi. The description of him being like a smoking tree was a plot in the novel. It described how the scenery that Xiangzi saw when he walked alone at night had an impact on his psychological state. This plot was an important element in the novel. By depicting Xiangzi's inner feelings, it showed his uncertainty and confusion about the future, and also expressed the theme of the novel.
Most likely not. These stories are usually a blend of imagination and some elements based on real events but are highly dramatized and not entirely factual. The reality of the drug world is much more serious and complex than what's presented in such stories.
Well, 'Dope' is purely fictional. The plot and characters were made up to tell an interesting and engaging story rather than being inspired by real events.
It's a bit of a mixed bag. Some of these stories are inspired by actual cases, but a lot of them have elements of creativity and dramatization added. So, not all are strictly real.
No, 'Dope' is not a true story. It's a made-up narrative with elements crafted by the imagination of the creators to engage and entertain the audience.
