Smoking

Smoking is a recreational activity in which you light the end of something and inhale the fumes it produces. Because of its dangerous nature, smoking has been met with strong opposition from many health groups and strong support from the Mafia and stoners. Although many have tried to outlaw cigarette smoking on the grounds that it causes lung cancer (which is true), attempts to ban the "sin sticks" have been unsuccessful. Why? There are too many factors in each indivudal human body that could aid cigarettes in the growth of cancer. And you thought diversity was good? Diversity causes cancer.

Objects commonly smoked are:

Cigarettes

Cigars

Joints

Lettuce

While smoking is inherently dangerous (it's the equivalent to kicking your lungs in the balls), it remains a popular recreational pastime in almost every country in the world and its usage dates back to 5000 B.C. Although smoking is one of the most popular self-injuring hobbies, the damange it inflicts to your lungs makes them shrivel up and turn black. In fact, that's how grapes turn into raisins. You're basically turning your plump, healthy lungs into giant black eyesores that you might consider eating with some Wheaties.

One of the reasons that people smoke is to enhance their self-image, and adding a simple cigarrete, cigar, or pipe to their wardrobe can make all the difference.
