rainoGenerally I think smoking is an unhealthy and unattractive habit, but occasionally it's just so aesthetically pleasing... saw the other day this lovely scene, as if I'd walked into a movie:
a cool Japanese dude, as cool as you can imagine, good-looking and self-assured and emanating a slight bad boy vibe, lounging outside a traditional charcoal grill food place. Unlit cigarette in his mouth. He takes tongs, picks up a red-hot coal and lights his cigarette with it.
Asdffsfsf my cool-o-meter just exploded!
But smoking only suits the quite young ("I'm not going to bother to live past thirty anyway") or the very old (consistency and has cheated death already). Middle-aged and smoking, very difficult to look hip.
