The habit of smoking was well-known in Norway in the first half of the sixteenth century. Tobacco-smoking is seen in Norwegian paintings. In the nineteenth century, long and artistic pipes were used by men relaxing after a pleasant dinner. In self portraits of Christian Krohg and Edvard Munch we see them smoking pipes and cigarettes surrounded by smoke. In an exhibition of portraits of Norwegian Authors, ten out of seventy authors were portrayed with a pipe, a cigar or a cigarette. There are various interpretations of the use of smoking in art. A simple explanation is that this was an accepted part of life at that time. The authors may have believed that they concentrated better when they smoked and elegance may have been of importance for many of them. The symbolic significance of cigarette-smoking has been of great value in the marketing of tobacco-products.
16世纪上半叶，吸烟的习惯在挪威就已广为人知。在挪威的绘画作品中可以看到人们吸食烟草的场景。19世纪，男人们在享用一顿美餐之后，会使用长长的艺术烟斗来放松身心。在克里斯蒂安·克罗格和爱德华·蒙克的自画像中，我们可以看到他们在烟雾缭绕中抽着烟斗和香烟。在一场挪威作家肖像展中，70位作家中有10位的画像中配有烟斗、雪茄或香烟。对于艺术作品中吸烟行为的呈现有着多种解读。一个简单的解释是，这在当时是生活中被普遍接受的一部分。作家们可能认为吸烟时他们能更专注，而且优雅对他们中的许多人来说可能很重要。吸烟的象征意义在烟草产品营销中具有巨大价值。
