FYI: most things related to fire and smoke contain carcinogens. This includes grilling food. I'm sure herbal smokes are no exception.
Even most candles have toxins.
Other than that, I agree with your aesthetics of smoke, but I have no desire to smoke myself, other than the rare occasion of a cigar (if it's a good one).
