    A below average episode

    There have been some good episodes of the show in its 19th series, but also some duds, and this is one of them.

    Lisa helps her dancing career by smoking, and Homer/Bart devise a scheme to sell their own beef jerky.

    It's got its moments, but not the show at its best.

    I Can't Understand Why This Isn't Banned

    Smoke on the Daughter is an okay episode. I have watched 15 other Season 19 episodes and there was 5 bad, 5 okay, 1 good, and 5 really good. This episode falls in the okay category. Even though this episode is okay, I can't understand why it isn't banned. I mean, the whole plot revolves around smoking. Sure it says that smoking is bad for you, but it also says that smoking gives you energy, and that is not true. This is the episode that needs to be banned, not Stark Rank Dad. I've never watched Stark Rank Dad before, and I would really want to watch it. That episode got banned because it just had an inappropriate guest star, but this episode has an inappropriate plot and it doesn't get banned at all. In all, I give this a 6.4 out of 10.

    More like smoke on someone else

    In this episode we see that Lisa is going to ballet dance class, she meets girls that are addicted to smoking non stop, making it one of the worst Simpsons episode from 2008 along with That 90s Show, Lisa was also out of character due to her addiction of smoking which is bad for her, it seems that Lisa wasted her own life to meet some ballerinas who smoke oh my god that was so disgusting and cringeworthy for me to watch even though it was his teacher or something i don't know well and don't watch this disgusting episode along with Homer Simpson In Kidney Trouble go watch Marge's Son Poisoning it is a very fun episode to watch.
