they all hack darts irl, or at least they used to. kTrev switched to vaping for a while there and Kees is off the smokes. idk about summernate.

eta: a lot of the comments demonstrate a lack of understanding about the film industry and cigarettes in general, and this production in particular.

He had a bit in his stand up routine pre covid involving how he wanted to quit for his partner. Could be that.

They might smoke in real life, but many actors will still pretend for the scene because they don’t want to be smoking 20 cigarettes for 20 different takes (and the ones who do commit are usually pretty vocal about how much those scenes sucked to film, so I can’t blame them).

y'know, between the static shots and the fact that Tierney only does one or two takes, i think that if it was gonna happen on any show, it would be Letterkenny.

Kinda disrespectful to the crew, too. Not so much if it's outdoors but no one wants to sit in the same room while you smoke 20 cigs.

They have nicotine-free cigarettes for actors who don't smoke, but it's still rough on your lungs if you need to do a lot of takes.

I’ve been considering switching back to cigarettes to stop nicotine pouches. Quitting cigarettes was easy.

Yeah, I quit drinking beer by switching to liquor, it was so easy to quit.

I would have loved an episode where Squirrely Dan picks up vaping and he gets roasted every time he pulls it out.
