I struggle to reconcile the virtues of SSW and what this painting is trying to portray. SSW is well-known to be industrious and sacrificing their life under toil to support their family. Is it conceivable that one should strive to work so hard and simultaneously chip their earnings away with smoking? Not to mention negative health impacts, and that their ability to work would be affected. I am sure there were SSW who smoked, but is this the best way to honor our pioneers publicly?
