By Tanta's reading, the visual cues to Times readers are "the repeated panning on the tchochkes, the six! perfectly unnecessary shots of chubby Diane smoking, the capture of the chain-link fence." Among the urban professionals I know in DC, all of those are openly frowned upon. And as Tanta says elsewhere, with only a slight exaggeration, "In America in 2008, nothing labels you 'underclass' more than being a smoker."
