The
believing we do something when we do nothing is the first illusion
of tobacco.
~
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Smoking
is a shocking thing - blowing smoke out of our mouths into other
people's mouths, eyes and noses, and having the same thing done to
us.
~
Samuel Jackson
Now
the only thing I miss about sex is the cigarette afterward. Next
to the first one in the morning, it's the best one of all. It
tasted so good that, even if I had been frigid, I would have
pretended otherwise just to be able to smoke it.
~
Florence King
Smoking
is, if not my life, then at least my hobby. I love to smoke.
Smoking is fun. Smoking is cool. Smoking is, as far as I am
concerned, the entire point of being an adult.
~
Fran Lebowitz
I
used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a non-smoker
... But I will never consider myself a nonsmoker. Because I always
find smokers the most interesting people at the table.
~
Michelle Pfeiffer
To
cease smoking is the easiest thing I ever did; I ought to know
because I have done it a thousand times.
~
Mark Twain

~Benny Hill
There's something luxurious about having a girl light your
cigarette. In fact, I got married once on account of that.

~Author Unknown
Smoke your pipe and be silent; there's only wind and smoke in the
world. ~Irish Proverb
Little tube of mighty pow'r,
Charmer of an idle hour,
Object of my warm desire.
~Isaac Hawkins Browne, "A Pipe of Tobacco"
Much smoking kills live men and cures dead swine.
~George D. Prentice
There are some circles in America where it seems to be more
socially acceptable to carry a hand-gun than a packet of
cigarettes.
~Katharine Whitehorn
Tobacco is a dirty weed. I like it.
It satisfies no normal need. I like it.
It makes you thin, it makes you lean,
It takes the hair right off your bean
It's the worst darn stuff I've ever seen.
I like it.
~Graham Lee Hemminger, Tobacco
For the first time in history, sex is more dangerous than the
cigarette afterward. ~Jay Leno
Nicotine patches are great. Stick one over each eye and you
can't find your cigarettes.
~Author Unknown
A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is
exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied. What more can one
want?

The best way to stop smoking is to just stop - no ifs, ands or
butts.

The public health authorities never mention the main reason many

It's all one thing - both tend into one scope -
To live upon Tobacco and on Hope,
The one's but smoke, the other is but wind.
~Sir Robert Aytoun

Thank heaven, I have given up smoking again!... God! I feel fit.
Homicidal, but fit. A different man. Irritable, moody,
depressed, rude, nervy, perhaps; but the lungs are fine.
~A.P. Herbert
He who doth not smoke hath either known no great griefs, or
refuseth himself the softest consolation, next to that which comes
from heaven. ~Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, What Will He Do
With It?
A cigarette is a pipe with a fire at one end and a fool at the
other.

If they'd only threaten me with hard work, I might stop.
~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966
What a weird thing smoking is and I can't stop it. I feel
cosy, have a sense of well-being when I'm smoking, poisoning
myself, killing myself slowly. Not so slowly maybe. I
have all kinds of pains I don't want to know about and I know
that's what they're from. But when I don't smoke I scarcely
feel as if I'm living. I don't feel as if I'm living unless
I'm killing myself.
~Russell Hoban, Turtle Diary, 1975
And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.
~Rudyard Kipling, The Betrothed
Coffee and tobacco are complete repose.
~Turkish Proverb
Yes, social friend, I love thee well,
In learned doctor's spite;
Thy clouds all other clouds dispel
And lap me in delight.
~Charles Sprague, "To My Cigar"
Smoking is pulmonary rape.
~Author Unknown
Divine in hookas, glorious in a pipe
When tipp'd with amber, mellow, rich, and ripe;...
Yet thy true lovers more admire by far
Thy naked beauties - give me a cigar!
~George Gordon, Lord Byron, The Island
A custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the
brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume
thereof nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit
that is bottomless.
~James I of England, A Counterblaste to Tobacco, 1604
The best way to stop smoking is to carry wet matches.
