How much so you think tobacco companies spend to sponsor this show

This show glamorizes smoking with stylish scenes like Micheal French inhaling and thomas constantly smoking while establishing dominance in many scenes. It really makes me wonder.

The way the characters smoke with such influential style did tobacco companies play a role in making this show?

Even for me as a smoker I started to imitate the style of smoking while talking to people. Casually french inhaling or lighting a cigarette during a serious conversation.
