do you enjoy smoking while you're reading?
if yes/no, and why.
yes
because i like smoking while doing anything because that's what smoking makes you do
No, it's distracting.
Nah cuz da shit I smoke so loud u can't hear wat u readin
I smoke cigars while reading so I don't have to fuck with them every few minutes like a cigarette. You don't have to worry about the smoke getting in your face or anything either. I just chew and puff for half an hour.
No, I gave up smoking. Whenever I feel tempted I imagine my former self, who smoked because he thought it was edgy, rebellious etc. I even started smoking because I thought the idea of Holden smoking while drifting from one place to another in a city was quite Romantic. On top of that, the act of smoking is regarded by teenagers as the indicator of the troubled artist; the man who recognizes life as so futile that he might as well give himself lung cancer.
I look back on all this and cringe. This is how I keep from smoking. It's a pathetic mentality that keeps a disgusting industry going, and it's the reason these threads appear on /lit/. In a word, it's embarrassing.

I agree with this idea for cigarettes, but I'm the cigar post above you, and reading a book while smoking a cigar is really a wonderful pleasure. I don't drink or anything. Just the cigars.
I always smoke alone as to not involve others in my choices of pleasure, but I think if you apply your post to all types of smoking you're being quite narrow minded.
I smoke crack out of this pipe I made out of a rat skull while i read fantasy. Just my thing.
I use snus because I don't want to die.

Nothing wrong with cigars really. Sometimes the most satisfying part of smoking is the hand movements, the breathing in of the smoke, and the blowing out. Besides, cigars are kind of goofy unless you're an older man, so it's not like you're doing it to be cool or intellectual. Hookahs can be fun too.

On occasion. It does provide an unnecessary distraction, but I do enjoy the movements.
Especially so during conversations, holding a cigarettes allows for a variety of hand gestures that would look absurd otherwise.
Obviously its awful for you, but a troubled intellectual like myself recognizes the futility of it all :^)
