This is supposed to be a kids show This is a real banned episode. I knew it! I know that's a banned episode, I've told someone before about it that they would never put something like that in the Loud House. There's no need to have kids becoming curious about what smoking is and have them become interested in it.

I doubt this a banned episode. It's probably an episode that shows kids the dangers of smoking and the health problems that could arise as a result. If Nick doesn't have a problem showing two same-sex couples or having a character with Down Syndrome being played by an actor with Down Syndrome than I doubt an episode about smoking will be the straw that broke the camel's back. Also Pinky and the Brain had an episode that covered the dangers of smoking and the practices that cigarette companies engage in and I don't think they ran into any problems, in fact they won an award for it.

No, this either is a banned episode or a scene they scrapped because of the hazards of kids smoking cigarettes or cigars. They wouldn't take the chances because regardlessly either way some kids would still try to smoke. Mostly those that're bad or don't like having other people telling them what they can or cannot to do. Plus Pinky and the Brain was a show back when all cartoon channels thought it was ok to add major teen and or mild mature rated stuff into their shows. I mean come on they're not going to make The Loud House the new Ren and Stimpy by adding stuff like smoking into the show. You already saw what happened to John Kricfalusi and his show back then, along with Chris Savino with his "Harassment" claims. They do something like that in Loud House, the one who's idea was it to add smoking will possibly be fired or sued if angry protective parents complain.

That's a pretty slippery slope you got there to claim that by making an episode about the dangers of smoking (with no characters from the show engaging in smoking afterwards) the Loud House will become the next Ren and Stimpy. Also if kids are just going to smoke anyway than what is the harm of making that episode. Also I doubt Nick would fire someone over an idea like this and if angry parents do complain all they have to is ignore them (which I'm pretty sure they've been doing since some parents complained about having a gay couple on the series). So once again I doubt it's a banned episode.
