1984 is a long time ago already. :-)
Btw, I'm re-reading Isaac Asimov's Foundation triology these days. In
his universe, projected from the fifties, the habit of smoking has
persisted through countless millennia into the Galactic Empire and
beyond. It's quite funny to observe how the human behaviour
accompanying nearly every dialogue always has something to do with
tobacco. As if social life was impossible without it.
Smoking "makes a comeback" in quite a lot of recent Science Fiction;
usually as a result of finding a cure for cancer. Theory seems to be
that once the harm is removed, there's nothing wrong with it. Real
world, I doubt that'll happen, since cancer is only one of the possible
negative consequences.
And I'm going to say again, I don't see any evidence that the "original"
image was sanitized. It just doesn't look like she was holding a
cigarette when the photo was taken.
Which makes objecting to the artist not depicting her holding one
foolish. Who exactly ARE the revisionists in this case?
