Hi M G F
Thank you for your detailed reply! I'm really intrigued by your friend who smokes and runs 5 - 10 miles a day. That for me sums up much of my fascination with the apparent contradictions and paradoxes inherent in smoking. I find the whole idea that she could be very fit athletically despite being a smoker incredibly erotic.
To answer some of your questions, I have no real interest in other people knowing I smoke and would in fact find it uncomfortable, esepcailly with girls. To be honest I would consider it something to be ashamed of, a sign of weakness, and I suspect most girls would find it a turn off to varying degrees. Now if I knew the girl in question was turned on by me smoking, or by forcing me to smoke, then it would be a different story 
.
If I can digress a little, you allude to previous activities you engaged in. This may or may not refer to use of harder drugs than tobacco, this is of course none of my business . But it reminds me of another issue that interests me. I do not find use of other drugs appealing, either in myself or other.
Do other users of this board feel the same ? If so are there any theories to explain it ? After all it would appear smoking tobacco shares many of the characteristics of other drug use. Perhaps it is an aesthetic issue ?
