Does smoking make you look cool?

[Gemini Cricket]

My character in the last play I was in had a pipe in his mouth for almost the whole show. It had the taste of tobacco on the mouthpiece part. After awhile, I kind of got used to the taste. Now, if I think about it, I kind of crave a good 'ol pipe smoke. But I don't actually smoke.
After I saw 'Thank You for Smoking' I wanted a cigarette.
I get why people are addicted.

And I think people look totally cool smoking. Except the ones that look like they're are dying as they are doing it. Coughing, wheezing, choking...

The part that keeps me from doing it besides the asthma, lung cancer, emphazema (sp?), mouth tumors and all that is that it does take a toll on your face and teeth. I work with a lady that smokes and it's starting to show in her face now. Not good...
