At least the current trend of non smoking Public Service Announcements have some common sense to them. Back in the 80s however it seems that linking pop culture icons to tell kids not to smoke might have been a good idea at the time, but not ver well thought out.

I love my Star Wars, but I don’t know how in a million years in any galaxy far away or near, the decision of a droid to not smoke (that can’t smoke to begin with) would shape my decision.

For me, the ability to breath and not stink was justification enough.

R2’s example in films as to not stick your probe in strange sockets was enlightening, and served me well.
