Canonically Mokou doesn't smoke at all. But even if she did, she can't get sick so there would be no cancer. And in addition, where'd that stereotype come from? It seams these artists are perpetually getting this false image that just propels itself with each passing artist's contribution.

Yeah, but she was with Kaguya, so it's not a big secret what happened there. Actually, she blamed it on a stray cigarette and how these kids are all smoking these days.

She consumed the Hourai Elixer nearly 1,000 years previous, so I SERIOUSLY doubt that she could have had access to tobacco unless she visited the Americas.

It's just a 'Young X with mother' picture to close it out. Don't examine this too closely. :) Just enjoy the cute.

So the connection isn't farfetched at all.
Nah, I mean Aya's asking Kaguya and Mokou why the forest is in conflagration all around them, Kaguya: Gee. Do you know what could have done this? I don't know what could have done this. Mokou: Ha ha ha. Pretty crazy. Kaguya: It must have been... It coulda been... Mokou: KIDS. Kaguya: RIGHT. THOSE DAMN KIDS. Aya: As we speak, you are emitting gouts of pyroclastic gas. They have burned off my eyebrows. Mokou: Those kids are always smoking. Kaguya: Yes they are.
And on the other hand, Mokou is a health nut because she cannot, by definition, be unhealthy; Aya's and Akyuu's sources only indicate that she's cagey. It simply happens that Smoking Delinquent Mokou (totally baseless) is more charming than Health Nut Yakitori Mokou (probably lies). Which I'm happy with, because I can then imagine her as Sakamoto Maaya voicing girl-Kujo Jotaro.
Haha, I live in the South East Asian region, and well, I've been exposed to the smoking environment ever since I was 5. Was playing some Road Rash 2 with my grandpa while my dad was with me. Both were smokers at that time (They have long since quit smoking. :D), and the room would be filled with the cigarette smell. I didn't mind it at all o.O

Except for the whole "Mokou and Kaguya were lying and the fire was obviously caused by their latest fight" thing.
