That's because you used to be a smoker. This is like having a discussion about the smell of fish - I grew up eating lots of fish that we even doused with
vinegar and garlic on to make it
taste better (that's filipino food for you). Most people I know go running for the hills when they smell it, but I love when the smell fills my lungs and it makes me quite hungry. I'm guessing you might not feel the same way unless you ate the same food growing up.
I hate the smell of smoke, and I actually even smoked a cigarette once when I was so drunk I didn't know any better. I've been sorry ever since. If it tasted all fruity like a hookah, then that would be another story. I won't even go into the health aspects since the OP is clearly asking for our thoughts NOT having to do with that, and because some sad people are apparently getting
depressed every time other people say they don't like carcinogens.
I'll put a question back to the OP - what do you mean the "culture" that surrounds smoking? I didn't realize there was a single culture that encompassed all kinds of smoking. I'd be interested to hear what you mean by that. In my experience, people who enjoy one kind of smoking (say, hookah or cigar) do not necessarily enjoy the other kinds. What does that culture mean to you?
