They're overdoing the 'look - I'm a misfit.' It is ridiculous. Granted, the blade in the shoulder thing was a far worse offender.
For some reason it just seemed to me like anything like this would be passé for humans by then. Besides the no smoking sign in Meyer's movies, it never seemed to be a thing, nor would there seem to be any motivating factor to even try it.
I can live with the cigar, but the blade in the shoulder? Yeah, I'm with you on that one.
I'm not sure why we should get that impression. Future folks still like things ranging from fencing to cards to fancy clothes to extreme sports. Pointless pursuits that exist principally to bolster egos and establish assorted pecking orders. Smoking would fall in that category, too, especially if there no longer was a health aspect to it. But also if there was, making it comparable to said extreme sports.

Rios is definitely not one of my favorite characters on this show. He came across as kind of a jerk. (Not as much as Raffi, though.) And I thought it was a bit off-putting for all of Rios' holograms to speak with different accents. What, is the next one going to sound like Tony Soprano?
On a completely unrelated matter, why does nobody even bat an eye when Soji's Borg indicator glows green? In the last episode everyone was told that they're supposed to RUN when that happens. I first thought it was because of residual Borg tech in the Romulan who took Soji's hand, but we've seen others on the cube who were handling former drones and their indicators didn't go off. So why did Soji's?
And I'm curious, why was Raffi drummed out of Starfleet when Picard resigned? She hadn't done anything wrong.
Maybe he set it up in advance so he'd look tough in front of Picard. First impressions.

"Yeah! I'm just gonna stab myself in the shoulder blade to impress the 90-year-old! I'm a bad-ass motherfucker! Gonna pour some tequila on it, man. What's the matter, gramps? We ain't on no Starfleet ship now!"
No. I think it was legitimately an accident.

Maybe she rubbed another bad-ass Admiral the wrong way? You'll never know with the brass!. Did they ever find all the changelings on Earth, by the way?
...Seriously, forks, how is the eyelid thing supposed to work? It made Spock temporarily blind when he was exposed to bright light, water, and food after midnight. Is that how Vulcans cope with bright sun, too - by going blind? Do sensitive Vulcans go blind on Earth, lest they shade their eyes? Or was that bit specific to Spock's mongrel body or the extreme intensity of the light in question?
It's sort of too bad that we never saw Archer and T'Pol in a situation where the former would have needed to wear shades...

You're kidding, right?
The inner eyelid didn't make him blind, it stopped him from being permanently blinded. It presumably moves over the eye to protect it from bright lid. I really hope they would CGI some Vulcan actually using theirs.
It did make Spock blind. As in, prevented him from seeing a thing, forcing him to requisition for a trained canine. Not the most practical way to cope with bright skies, certainly when compared with Ray-Bans.
T'Pol had no trouble with the brightness of Vulcan's Forge. But then again, neither did Archer. Unless we count slight squinting.

Are you intentionally misunderstanding things again? Stop, it is annoying. It was the bright light which made Spock go temporarily blind.
It made him THINK he was blind.
The impression I got is, when the inner eyelid activates, it (temporarily) obscures all vision. That's why Spock thought he was blind. When the eyellid retracted, normal vision was restored.
So that's probably why Commodore Oh wears the sunglasses. Normal, everyday exposure to a brightly lit environment probably isn't enough to cause the inner eyelid to drop.
