What is considered taboo in my country?

Oh my God, smoking woman or woman that smoke here, if a man is smoking, everybody's like, okay. But if a woman is smoking, everybody without exception starts looking at her, talking bad about her, saying, oh my God, look at her. Look at what she's doing. Oh my God, how dare she? Oh my gosh, she's smoking. Everybody without exceptions starts looking at her and jotting her, which I think is a very, very, very negative point that needs to be changed as soon as possible. Although smoking is a bad habit and it's unhealthy, but this is weird. Like a woman that cheats, that lies, that steals somebody else's properties that does bad things is in my country a better woman than a good woman that smokes. Look how weird this is. So yeah, that's it.
