purplecyborgnewt replied to your text post: I'm not so sure it's an example of Hartley actually smoking, seeing as he's using a cigarette-holder primarily as an instrument (and sigarette itself might be an accessory to go with his outfit).
Yeah, that's true, it might just be for style and as part of a plan. But it sure wouldn't have been unusual for him to be smoking in that era.

Sure, it's from Flash v2 #217!

Yeah, I wouldn't doubt that his time on Task Force X made any existing problems he had much, much worse -- though he certainly already had some trauma beforehand, thanks to his resentful father and unstable family life. Exploring that in fic and coming to a healthier resolution for him would be fab!
