Cigarettes, yeah. Smoking those is gay. But Tolkien, Chesterton, Lewis, and many other authors regularly smoked pipes and cigars. It helps improve focus which is great for writers like them

I agree that cigars are a gorillion times better than niggerrettes but it all comes down to moderation, if you just smoke one or two a day the damage is nill
Problem is the addiction element, tobacco in any form is highly addictive but some forms are better than other
One example is pipe tobacco, that one is the least processed and carries a rather pleasant aroma (to both smokers and non-smokers)
But like always there is so many rules and regulations about smoking indoors that's it is easier to just forgo it all together...
Which unironically increase T in men, however the lung cancer and other various maladies that come with it outweigh the benefits
This is interesting as well. No increase in *any* cancers when smoking a cigar a day
