South park needs to make a episode about this
PLEASE
I can see it now, Coalie enters the scene:
"Howdy-coughcoughcough - oh! My back, Kyle"
They need to make coaly voiced by a person who has smoked thousands of cigarettes.
"Yeah coals real safe and healty for us all cough cough cough cough"
Thousands of cigarettes doesn't seem that many. I've been a smoker for 10 years and I easily smoked thousands. They need a pack a day smoker for like 25 years plus.
Make him breath/smoke through a hole in his neck.
They wouldn't though, SP's creators genuinely think there's nothing wrong with the tobacco industry. A lot of episodes that seemed like they were satire were just their actual beliefs, presented in a silly way.
John Oliver will probably abuse it in some way. Sadly he doesn't start until the 15th and something new and horrible will have replaced this.
