According to the code of conduct on way of living given by so-called decision-makers in the early 20th century which has not been revised since then; women are allowed to do only those things which are expected from them. And taking the road less or not taken would be considered a bad sign of parenting or way too much freedom. A woman hanging around with men is bad in the eyes of society, a woman staying out late at night, a woman who dares to love, a woman who finds pleasure in sex and many more. We, as a society has many problems with women doing stuff.
One such problem from those women is that they smoke! What?? Don't you know about those women who hold the stick of death between their fingers and inhale the smoke of tobacco that help them to forget their misogynous life? Well if you don't, then you need to revise your moral code of conduct.
I am not in favor of those who smoke; Afterall smoking is injurious to the health of everyone. At least the smoke of tobacco is unbiased of gender and provides an equal amount of injury to all.
We have to face it! Women do smoke. And there is nothing one can do about it. You know why? Because India still is a free country where people can still do what they want to with their own bodies. And this is not a new phenomenon, women have been smoking for hundreds of years and in some cultures, women smoke with their men from pipes attached to burning coal, water, and tobacco.
So why are people today surprised to see a woman smoking?
The most simple answer is that our society has taught us that women raised under decent parenthood and good understandings do not smoke or drink or get high in any way. They are only supposed to inhale the smoke of chulas' burning coal in their kitchen.
