For those unaware, Joe Quesada, during his tenure as Editor-in-Chief, instituted a ban on characters smoking. So no more cigar-chomping Thunderbolt Ross. No more stogie for Wolverine. No more [insert artful euphemism for smoking] Nick Fury.
From what I recall reading at the time, Quesada lost his father to a long, drawn out battle with lung cancer due to smoking and didn't want to appear to be romanticizing the habit, which I understand; however, I've always felt that the best way to tackle an issue like this was to actually confront it instead of avoid it. So I'm inherently against the ban.
So my question is, do you folks think the ban will ever be overturned? I don't think it'll happen while he's still involved with the company and certainly not now that he intends to hold Cebulski's hand as EiC, but once he's gone, I think it's a distinct possibility.
