Advantages: aesthetics
Disadvantages: stains
It's controversial.
I like smoking, i enjoy it and i know i'm hopelessly addicted to it. It's harmful, it's cloying, makes things smell but there's nothing better, for me, as a treat after work or as a tool for psychological wind down after a stressful day herding psychiatric patients.
I love the taste, i love how the different papers affect the glorious taste of Old Holborn, i love to smoke it in a pipe...The lavender plumes as they waft up and away, the aroma of fresh burning tobacco and the aesthetic of generations glorified through iconic images.
I don't like the stains on the teeth though and sometimes i wonder if i should quit after a three mile jog and i loathe the smell of stale tobacco tainted air.
There are the obvious risks involved but a choice is a choice, there is plenty of help available to those who wish to quit, prescriptions to chewing gums and maybe one day i will quit but for the time being, it's a privilege and a pleasure to be able to roll a cigarette and take that first drag
Summary: rather smoke than drink

- 24/06/09 Never thought of something that will kill you as being a "treat"! My father-in-law died of emphysema because of it. The last 10 years of his life were a living hell: he spent them gasping for breath. |
