You can achieve the same effect with smoking pauses:

1. your mouth isn't stuffed and you can and want to talk during smoking. It's reflexive - as soon as you light the cigarette you're looking for a conversation;

2. you have more pauses per day;

3. the pauses are shorter;

Are there any downsides? Well, some say it's unhealthy... Anyway, I'm not smoking anymore, but back when I was, we solved lots of problems and came up with tons of ideas while smoking.

Yea I think you hit the problem with that at the end there. Besides killing you it's also:

1. Expensive

2. Stinky

3. Addictive
