Smoking destroys the body inner vessels also leads to lung cancer. So better if you avoid smoking. Smoking is bad habit and it is a threat if you became addicted of it.

Everyone has a masculine and a feminine side and denying either one of them is catastrophic. If men would just embrace who they are and not try to project some unreal ego to the world, the world would be a better, gentler place!

In fact, my brother-in-law taught me the proper way to smoke them and i've enjoyed them ever since. And it allowed us to connect with a common interest (10 year age difference). I really enjoy smoking with a buddy with drink in hand. It's a really nice calming feeling you get when you smoke when drunk :D I dont like cigarettes. I've tried them a few times and it's just overwhelming, like drinking straight liquor or something. And, lets not forget our green colored friend, whacky tabaky. That's always nice to enhance the chill factor. Though, i despise potheads...damn hippies. .-= Makdaddy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MaksPracticalAdviceAndOpinions/~3/80ObavW6RnE/diplomat-in-flight-disturbance-released.html" rel="nofollow">Diplomat in flight disturbance released, won't face charges - CNN.com</a> =-.

I just read about teenage smoking, and why it's so hard to battle. It mentioned that smokers aren't cool BECAUSE they smoke, but that COOL people are smokers. It's an interesting insight on why smoking is so popular to the teenage population. We all thought it was simply the 'act' of smoking was cool, but it was because the person smoking was cool, and teenagers try to become cool and emulate the cool person by immitating their actions. Great post and great food for thought. How is such a horrible unhealthy habit, so popular, and so hard to stop. :) I’m currently reading Malcolm Gladwell’s “The Tipping Point”.

No word is more commonly used in the US to diminish a guy's masculinity than "fag" which as a homophobic word rooted in the British use of the word for cigarettes. The original definition as we all know is for a bundle of sticks used for kindling, which was an easy diminutive term for a cigarette when compared to a cigar - cigarettes were effeminate. Eventually "fag" as a term, for the effeminate smoker, became a term for a gay man, the embodiment of an effeminate male. Really ironic considering your grasp is, "The guy that says “To hell with the pansy boys. I know it is bad for me - so what!” You know pansy is another word that came into use to describe gay men right? Really ironic that you would use a cigarette smoker, or fag smoker, to speculatively call a non-smoker a pansy. But I guess it makes sense you would include it regarding the fellows you name; all of the guys you name were arguably the first metrosexual, urbanized, debonair and stylish guys - men that guys like you would see as effeminate at a club. Doubly ironic considering your comment in Unclutterer about how "as a guy you don't care about color choices". Sure a color choice for a kitchen appliance isn't exactly comparable to the obsessive and painfully detailed stylizing that every one of the smoking guys you mentioned here... oh wait, it is exactly comparable. Maybe pick another topic? It’s interesting that in a blog called “Return to Manliness” you would cover smoking with so many cigarettes (all your photos are of cigarettes).
