Why are movie still made with actors smoking cigarettes and cigars?
Lawdog1881
There are occasions where a lack of smoking would make the movie unrealistic, such as period pieces. The best example probably is Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005). The movie is based on real events in the 1950's in which TV news anchor Edward R. Murrow is a key character. In real life, Murrow smoked while doing his broadcast! To make a movie where he did not constantly have a cigarette in his hand would be almost criminal.
Believe it or not, a lot of tobacco companies pay for movie producers to have actors smoking in their movies. It is a form of advertising called product placement.

What kind of cigarettes does Clint Eastwood smoke in the movie Gran Torino?
Clint Eastwood did not smoke in the Dirty Harry movie. Clint Eastwood is well-known for smoking Toscano cigars in his Westerns (A Fistful Of Dollars, Joe Kidd, The Good The Bad And The Ugly, etc) Clint Eastwood was smoking Toscano cigars in the Spaghetti Westerns directed by Sergio Leone. Expertly and insightfully handmade in Italy, Toscano is a tough cigar for tough people. This cigar has roots that trace all the way back to 1818 when it was first introduced in Lucca, in the Tuscany region of Italy. It is made using fire-cured Kentucky tobacco and has an elliptical shape (thicker midsection with slimmer ends). Toscano cigars are still made in Italy using the same techniques which are passed down from almost 200 years ago. If you reside/live in the US, you can purchase them at ItalianSmokes' website. ItalianSmokes is the sole authorized importer and distributor of Toscano cigars in the USA. There are counterfeit (i.e. fake) and contraband Toscano cigars which are heavily discounted, so be careful where you buy them from.
