Smoking is a terrible, disgusting, stinky habit.
I have been known, since quitting smoking seven years ago to partake in the occasional cigar during special events. In the time since I quit, I've smoked six cigars, which compares rather favorably to the 53491 cigarettes I would have smoked instead had I not quit. But enough rationalization. What's smoked is smoked, and I got some good self-portraits out of it. The cigar makes an excellent prop.
