[Snowflake]

Well, I've never smoked, never been tempted, based on my family experience, and CP I'm with you, it's foul and stinky.

That said, I've always felt, at least with movies, only three or four people really looked great smoking, it must be in b/w and doing so added a mystique, or look, the smoke shimmering in the light and dark of a good cinematographer. Others may add or dispute my choices, but those who looked great smoking, Valentino, Fred Astaire, Bogart and Bette Davis.
