taehyung smoking is none of our business. he never meant for us to see it and he is a GROWN ADULT. yeah, it’s not good for his health but it’s his choice what he wants to put in his body. and idc if you think smoking “isn’t attractive”. his job isn’t to be attractive to everyone.

there’s clearly nothing wrong with taehyung smoking because he’s a grown up already, but the photo is clearly taken without his consent, that is what’s wrong, so please delete the photos and respect taehyung.

Y'all so quick to defend Taehyung with this. I wonder if it's the same if Jimin was in his place? Pretty sure you'd condemn him and make him leave the group. Yes, they're adults. But smoking destroys your pipes. He's a singer ffs. pic.twitter.com/zJOjgIdHfU

not wanting taehyung to smoke cause you’re genuinely worried for his health is different from hating on him for smoking…..
