Reviewers' Comments:
Biggie and his entourage are notorious for smoking cigarettes and cigars but the specific brand used in this film was like an ad for the tobacco industry. JS

Other Comments:
There isn't a way to clarify if all characters smoked in real life, particularly the extras that smoked and the brand depiction put this film over the top
