We all know smoking is bad, but now the very idea of even looking at a cancer stick is something HBO Max is apparently trying to put a stop to.
It was recently discovered that HBO Max has altogether removed the implication of smoking–that is, cigarettes and cigars–from the accompanying artwork on certain movies. The two standout examples right now are for Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) and John Milius’ The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, as seen in the below tweet:
