Even though Dan is smoking on stage but not in real life still doesn't mean that after this play is done that he won't start smoking. Smoking is addictive and since he is smoking so much on stage, he might become addicted to it. I understand that the smoking is important for the scene, but why can't he pretend to smoke???

Even with the smoking, I still think that Dan is a good role model because smoking is not as bad as some things that other actors do.
