I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I find it sexy on a woman.
You wouldn't smack anything out of anyone's hands.
What an amazing defense for smoking.....

Nope. I don't smoke a pipe or pretend to be a tough guy on the internet.

Forget cigarettes, if you want to look like a real boss, you smoke a cigar:

Solid Snake and Big Boss look cool so yeah
Go judge the overweight or alcoholics. Your post arent helping anything.
As a former smoker, cigarrettes dangling from mouths look like complete affectations. Nobody stands around with a cigarette casually tucked between their lips. That shit is terrible. Smoke wafts up into the nose and eyes. Talking is difficult. Spittle leaks over the lips. It's completely uncomfortable and only done while the hands are involved in something dexterous.
The only people I've seen for real pull this look off are middle aged laborers, and even then half the time their cigarette is out and being saved for later.
So, note to photographers and artists: cigarettes only go in mouths to be sucked. Otherwise, they are laid in ashtrays or held in the hand.

Duly noted. Thank you for informing me the error of my ways.

I'm overweight based on BMI standards but within a healthy range for body fat % (15%). I haven't smoked a cigarette in 7 years after partaking recreationally in high school.
I have about 2 drinks per month.
I don't find smoking attractive. It is hard for me to separate the act of smoking from the significant health and financial implications it brings along with it. I think it's fair to bring up the health implications given the topic at-hand. If we were talking about huge, muscular men and whether we find that attractive, if there were two identical men that had low body fat and significant muscle mass but one was taking consistent, heavy dosages of steroids, I'd find that guy not attractive, although his physically identical but non-steroid-using variation would be attractive to me.
I can judge all 3 as poor health decisions just fine.
Its also fucking annoying having people telling you to stop smoking. Do you really think we dont know its not healthy? Trust me, unless your brother decides for himself to stop smoking no amount of bitching is going to help.
Not me, but I see what you did there.
Hey, I honestly don't care what personal choices people make even if it has a measurable negative impact on their life, but if it starts to effect others around them it becomes a problem and that's with anything be it food, drinks, gaming, religious beliefs, anything. If it takes over someone's life it's bad enough in my view, but if people start taking other people with them then they've gone too far. Smoking is something, at least in real life that effects other people around the smoker so it's better that if somebody does smoke they'd minimize the impact on others and their environment by going outdoors.
Too many smokers I know though smoke whenever and wherever they feel due to the addictive effects of tobacco, hence the complains by some in this thread.
Again, if all it was was smokers hurting themselves people wouldn't care nearly as much.
All he did was expose a comment that leveled smoking under the assumption we all have our vices. Are they all equal or something? If so, it still doesn't move the goal posts. To give smoking an unobstructed pass would already be too much. It would be venerating it. It's a vice, it's an addiction and that's all the justification people need for why they keep in their ways. It's not a lack of empathy for the smoker, it's caring enough to not bastardize the dialogue that surrounds it. If anything it acknowledges the complications of health that must be endured.

I absolutely abhor smoking in real life, but for some reason, it really does look cool in media.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
The point I was getting at was we all do things that are damaging to ourselves because we deign that doing it outweighs the negative health effects.
You like eating/not exercising to the point of being a bit overweight and I like smoking. People who preach to adults about the dangers of smoking accomplish nothing and just throw shit into the conversation. It gets annoying.
Just in case, I really wasn't trying to suggest that your typical gaf poster is overweight. That stereotype is laughable and boring at this point.
Words are a lot less worse than second-hand smoke.
Because of media bias. The only people you were shown smoking were beautiful, handsome, fit, healthy looking individuals before any detrimental health effects were present, or they were covered up. Also, a good tailor, some fashion sense, and a professional photographer can basically make anything and anyone look good.
I don't have to smell it when I walk behind a person being overweight. There are no "no being fat" signs as far as I know. We don't ask people to go be overweight outside away from entrances.

Man that is the one time I avoid smoking like the plague, getting the smoke smell out of a suit means washing it and that shit is a pain in the ass.
Like every other guy who gave up smoking, I only smoke at events or a big get together when some one is like "yo come share this cig with me"

My main issue with the statements in this thread is how hyperbolic they all seem. I've seen much grosser and more unappealing things than someone "taking a puff of a cigarette".

I think you're misunderstanding what I said if you're implying my weight has made me unhealthy. But, you have not misunderstood me in implying that smoking automatically has a net-negative impact on one's health, which makes me find someone that smokes less attractive even in terms of fashion sense.
