Is Elaine For Or Against Smoking ?

I've always thought of Elaine as an anti-smoker.

Examples of her dislike for smoking can be seen in : (a) "The New Friend" - she dumped a baseball player called Keith becoz he smoked ;

(b) "The Suicide" - she scolded the pregnant psychic for smoking while having a baby

I was shocked when Elaine smoked a cigar with Jerry in "The Calzone".

How did this happen ?

This is not necessarily a sign of anti-smoking. A smoker can realize that it is dangerous for a pregnant woman to smoke but not be against it.

She broke up with Keith Hernandez because he smoked, but she herself smokes cigars. Her character is inconsistent in regards to smoking.

that

Becuase of its health risks. So it is a sign of anti-smoking.

Elaine also dumped Keith Hernandez when she realized that he smoked.

Could you not see it coming ? She was KING right there ! I would have done the same thing. And I hate smoking! Btw, did Elaine ever say anything through these years to Kramer's Cigar ?

It's simple. Elaine is just too trendy to shy away from cigars, since it's the in thing to do, as is being against cigarette smoking. It's also a matter of Seinfeld cashing in on the fads of the day. Smoking cigars is so popular now that it's just too expensive for me to smoke, so I had to quit. Glad to see that these high living New Yorkers can still afford it though.
