Maybe pipe smoking might be the go LP?
I have always liked the smell of tobacco and tobacco smoke...something mindlessly contemplative about it .... any way I am seriously considering taking up a pipe. I'll smoke less and would not be able to smoke in public, I get my contemplative moments at home in my backyard so everyone wins. (Perth is a very windy place and it is rare that tobacco smoke goes into the house through closed doors)
I have a high sense of smell, and taste and can agree with the "licking an ashtray" But with everything there is always a down side.
