i never smoked to the point where i was addicted to cigarettes...but i did smoke enough at one point to see the fun and appeal in socially smoking. it really is a great way to start a conversation if you have to go to a smoking area. or if you are in a bar that allows smoking...well, beer and cigarettes just seem to go together. it helps me pace my drinking...if i don't pay attention then i end up blacking out and that never produces good results.

edit: if this sounds like a big excuse to keep smoking, it isn't. it is bad and i hope to even end my social smoking someday. but for now i like it.
