Part time smoker here, no death wish. It's an instant escape and I find the ritual enjoyable.

I think this is an important point that is often lost on people that don't smoke. So often in these discussions, smoking is assumed to have no positive effects. Strangely, most people don't take the same attitude when talking about alcohol.

Like it or not, smoking is enjoyable.

the "ritual", not the anesthetic effect, alright.
