Chris,
I don't know why I'm wasting my time on this, because you're obviously a complete idiot, but perhaps it will benefit a lurker or two.
I quit smoking more than 25 years ago. I haven't smoked a cigarette since then. I smoked a pipe in my early 20's for a year or two, quit that as well.
I ENJOYED both of them. I quit cigarettes due to health concerns, I quit pipes because (frankly) it was more trouble than it was worth, buying good tobacco, keeping it fresh, cleaning the pipe, packing it correctly, breaking in a new pipe, etc. But I DEFINITELY enjoyed it.
Your claim that there is no benefit to people is false on its face. Far to many people 'enjoy' smoking for you to claim otherwise. Now, it may not be a vice that YOU care for, but it doesn't mean that OTHER people don't like it. I'm happy to agree when you saw that smoking has an impact on you (you and I just disagree on how much of an impact), but you cannot remotely claim to be speaking for all the people of the world when you state the people don't ENJOY smoking, or that it doesn't provide them some benefit.

You cannot claim that a pipe smoker is 'addicted', because pipe smokers (as cigar smokers) don't inhale the smoke. And you can't claim that my cigarette 'addiction' makes me 'believe' that I enjoyed it 25 years later.
