In the theatre when people point guns at each other, they go off bang, someone falls down, they’re pretending to die. They don’t really shoot guns.
In the theatre when people get out the works, they inject themselves with heroin, they’re pretending, they don’t really shoot up.
In the theatre when people pour a cup of tea, they only pour out a minimal amount, and generally only pretend to drink.

Audiences have no problem suspending disbelief.

Surely smoking is worse for you than drinking tea?

(The idea of "promoting bad role models" is of course insane and demonstrates that your man Storey is indeed an ignorant cunt)
