I think that pic of Shatner is posed and not a "real" caught-in-the act smoking picture. He's said in one of his auto-biographies that he smoked for a year or two total in his life, was never really into it. Besides the "Rocketman" prop, I don't think he's much for the smokes. Also notable is that he's still very much alive and active.
Another notable- in her autobiography, Nichelle Nichols said that her costars asked her who had done her dental work and that they were surprised and disbelieving when she told them her teeth were all original issue. They obviously knew good when they saw it. The real question is, what was the director of "LTBYLBF" thinking with those closeups?
Dentistry in general has come a long way, smoking or not. I remember as a kid that whenever I would get a stern talking to from my father, I'd be captivated by the triangles of space revealed by gum recession between his lower front teeth. He would only have been a young man in his early 30s at the time.
