Twenty plus years of smoking. Quit cold turkey in 1987, never went back. I would have been dead years ago if my three-pack a day habit hadn't ended. It was violent quitting. I earned these years.

If you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast.

I've always thought it looked very cool and aesthetically pleasing.

I see I'm in the minority.

That is how they get you so they can get you addicted.

Well, yes. But that doesn't detract from its coolness and aesthetic quality. Something can be deadly yet also look good.

The coolness factor tends to be negated by foul-smelling clothes, yellow teeth, and a bunch of overflowing ashtrays at home.

I fail to see anything cool or attractive about it, it's just hanging a sign around your neck saying "I'm just stupid"

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

You have to admit, however, that Bogie and Bacall were very cool.
