I smoke ocassionally (a couple cloves a month on average). But I have no delusions that it makes me look cool. Lord, nothing can do that. I mostly do it 'cause smoking a clove is the next best thing to smoking something else. I also partly do it for the social aspect; you get to spend more time with your smoking friends if you go out and have a smoke with them.
I'm not horribly disgusted with regular cigarette smoke, though I don't particularaly like it. And I've never been tempted to try. |
The smell of cigarettes doesn't bother me at all. Stale cigarettes yes, but one actually being smoked, not at all.
The smell of cloves is wonderful and everybody should be required to smoke one a day so that the world will be a more pleasant place. |
It depends on who is smoking and what they are wearing. It can be incredibly sexy if done right.

Most of my friends smoke- besides having to wash the smoke smell out of my clothes and hair- I am not bothered by it much. Sometimes it irritates my throat, but not often.
My boyfriend smokes- and trust me, kissing him is not a problem. ;) The whole ashtray thing is highly overhyped. Only reason I would want them to quit is for their health- but so far I have not found a way to force someone to quit before they want to. |
But of course:

|
Yes, it can.
Some people look really cool Some it makes look real uncomfortable. |
I used to smoke cigars, and had to smoke cigarettes in a play in college (and was mildly addicted afterward.) Everybody in theatre school smoked.
There was intermittant continuance, though rare, until I saw a cute boy in a personal ad demand "no smokers." Haven't smoked a puff since, and that boy is still too cute for me to even consider it. |
I started smoking in High School and it was looked upon as the cool thing to do. Most of my older brothers friends smoked and I thought they were cool. Whenever we went to a concert they were always smoking on stage, wow I just gave away my age with that one!
I quit thinking it was cool decades ago. Alas I still haven't been able to quit. I've tried many times but I hope to succeed in the next year or so. I have a child now and I don't want him to smoke, nor do I expose him smoke for his own health. |
While some people can look cool while smoking, I never for a moment think they are either cool or sexy people because they smoke. I may admire their talent for making a disgusting thing look aesthetically pleasing, but that's as far as it goes. For every drop of allure added by the aesthetic, there's a bit of allure subtracted by the lack of respect for the choice.
|
All I think of is how they're totally f-ing up their looks by doing it. I envision the wrinkles they will get because their face is starved of oxygen, and that nasty wrinkle-pucker they get around the mouth. That takes the sexy right out of it for me.
