!!Examples

* AesopAmnesia / CanonDiscontinuity: Peter previously spoke out against smoking in "Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington" and learned that smoking is bad for you (especially if you're a child), yet he's just figuring that out in this episode. This is justified, as ''Family Guy'' has little to no episode-to-episode continuity. On top of that, "Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington" was a pre-2002 cancellation episode and those episodes are very rarely mentioned in the post-cancellation episodes [[note]](one of the only times this happened was in "The Fat Guy Strangler," when Brian threw a rock at Peter's head because of the incident in "To Love and Die in Dixie," where Brian hit his head and collapsed after Peter forgot to roll up the window when Brian tried to jump into the stationwagon Peter painted over to look like ''The General Lee'')[[/note]]

* KarmaHoudini: Chris keeps Stewie prisoner in his backpack for five days. When he lets Stewie out, there is no punishment, which is rather OutOfCharacter for Stewie, unless he's saving it up.

* StatusQuoIsGod: Double-Subverted, Peter believes that after he quits smoking that he'll just go back to normal no problem, until Lois and Brian point out the irreparable damage he's done to himself (not even cutting away to the outside of the house with music playing works). However, going by the previews (and the fact that ''Family Guy'''s continuity is looser than ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' in its heyday), he'll be back to normal come the next episode.

* JerkassWoobie: Chris is shown as being frequently bullied at school, but when Stewie helps him stand up for himself and he becomes popular, he turns into a jerk himself.

After finding out that a deaf coworker named Stella (voiced by Marlee Matlin, who is actually deaf in RealLife) is allowed to take smoke breaks, Peter takes up smoking so he can get out of doing anything, including talking to his family, but his new habit is wreaking havoc on his health.

Meanwhile, after seeing Chris unable to stand up for himself against bullies, Stewie decides to help his brother by hiding in his backpack and feeding him comebacks for the bullies' insults. Chris becomes so popular that he is nominated for Class President, but when Stewie tries to end the tutorship, Chris locks him in his backpack as his own personal speech-writer.
