Like a lot of folks my age, back in the 70's, I smoked socially. I really didn't inhale that much, but there was a certain convivialness to bars and night clubs in those days.
Smoking was part of a 'friendly socialness' to have along with you drink.
I always liked the aroma of the first puff of a cigarette that was lit with lighter fluid (not propane). Very aromatic.
Still we're better off without it.
