John Slattery and Elisabeth Moss have admitted that they don't like smoking fake cigarettes on Mad Men.
In an interview with Empire, Moss explained that the actors cannot light up real cigarettes for legal reasons.
"By law we're not allowed to smoke indoors, so the cigarettes are fake herbal," she said. "I've no idea what the health repercussions of those are. I guess we'll find out in 20 years."
Slattery, who plays Roger Sterling, also complained about the cigarettes.
"Those things are terrible," he said. "They're like smoking sand. You take a drag and you've got half the cigarette in your mouth and half on your pants. You're trying to act smooth and you're on fire! Oh, and the martinis? A glass of warm water with onion in it."

The factories disguise the contents of containers with foodstuffs or other consumer products like lingerie. For those brave enough to risk it, it's a spectacular investment, with as much as a 1,000% return-better than drug trafficking. A 40-ft. container filled with fake bags can turn a profit of $2 million to $4 million. And counterfeiters save the roughly 50% of that revenue that luxury houses would invest in innovation and marketing.
