I occasionally smoke a pipe or cigar, and I do it because it pisses of nanny stater Leftists, and because it relaxes me...:)
There is, for me, benefit that justifies that risk, however small.
Same here only with booze instead of tobacco. I'm not much of a drinker but when I do indulge I picture liberal heads exploding because I'm choosing alcohol over pot, which is legal in my state.
Heh...I get that...:)
I met up with a whole bunch of Freepers at a protest down in DC a few years back, and after the protest, we all (about 20 of us) went to a Cigar Bar, and drank, ate, and...smoked cigars!
We all agreed that it was twice as much fun because it pissed of liberals that we could smoke cigars inside somewhere!
