Have you seen medolls with cigarettes in their mouth, or holding one in their fake hand?
Some people have been debating on whether or not Stardoll should allow this kind of thing to be shown on a kid friendly site.
Cigarettes can be seen wherever you go, ads on television, on the street, even some peoples family smoke. So what's the difference that you do this on a site meant for creativity and fashion?
It's not to say that ciggs are 'fashionable' but if you are trying to create a 50s look, ciggs will help out the look and make it look finished.
Some people say it is bad for kids to be exposed to this type of things, that seeing a cigg in a doll's mouth will make them think it's okay & that it is cool to do this.
Every where you go you see ciggs in life, mothers and fathers aren't going to cover a child eyes when they see a cigarette. If that was the case, kids would be walking around in blindfolds.
Everyone has different opinions. We can't all agree on every single decision others make. Just let it be. Don't report others for something as insignificant as having a cigg, which is not even lit, in their FAKE hand or mouth.
If you truly think it is horrible to do this, just simply block the doll, what they do is not harming you is not hurting you, it's just irritating you. (Most likely)
Has anyone ever read,'The Fault in Our Stars,' by John Green?
For those who don't know the story it is a story about two teens that have cancer, one of which named Hazel who has trouble breathing due to her Thyroid Cancer. (She has to carry around an oxygen tank)
Another character is Augustus who also has cancer, and puts a cigarette in his mouth.
“It’s a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its killing.”
This is the reason I use ciggs in my dolls mouth, a metaphor.
Which some might think it's stupid but I feel has a lot of meaning behind it since my father passed away from lung cancer.

Cigarettes can be seen in many different ways, what do you think about dollies using cigarettes in their dolls mouth?
Is it okay? Not Okay?
Or do you just not care?
To Each Their Own.
