I concur.

And wearing a bikini to the beach increases your chances of getting skin cancer. It can still look pretty hot though.

I smoke.
I started in high-school and quit because I couldn't afford both gas and smokes.
I started again for reasons I couldn't begin to tell because I don't know myself.
No, I don't smoke because it looks sexy or cool. Not on me at least. It surely can when done right by the right person.
I smoke because I'm hooked on 'em.
I also enjoy it.
A really good cigar is a thing of beauty.
Both my parents died from smoking related causes.
I stop all the time.
I have yet to quit.

Don't smoke.

You know, I smoke on occasion. Not a lot, but it's the only vice I have left and, after a stressful day, I can't drink or do drugs and a cigarette sure is nice at those times.

Cigarette breath is no worse to me than alcohol breath. Peanut butter breath is worse than both.

After smoking for a very long time, I quit- but I still like the smell and look of a cig. I do very rarely take a Clinton-type* hit of small cigarellos, but I know better than to start up even part-time. (I'm a full-time kind of gal). I voted for the film option, but I know I started smoking because of the cool factor- no other reason at all.

*Not inhaling, and get your minds out of the gutter.

I don't smoke, but I do like to burn things...

Yeah, really sexy

I'm sure not having a cig in her mouth would really enhance her appearance there, Matt.

Or is that a he?

I haven't voted on the poll for the reason illustrated by the above pic. If you are NOT sexy...smoking won't help, even in an old movie. If you ARE sexy, even picking your nose would probably look cool. I call shenanigans on the poll.

It's funny how different people react so differently to different smells. I have no problem with peanut butter breath or even alcohol breath. But smoke breath I can not stand. I can't kiss someone with smoke breath. And just ask BT - I can smell it a mile away. (He quit once, then restarted by smoking with coworkers while on breaks at work, and somehow thought that I wouldn't notice. The second "quitting" appears to have stuck. I'm so proud of him!)

It's all relative, really. What turns a person on? A sense of danger? Well, Billy Jo in my avatar is lighting a smoke whilst corseted in dynamite. For some strange reason, I really like that. Wouldn't like to see such a person on the bus, but I like the pic.
