While not a smoker myself, I was struck by a comment made by David Sedaris on Fresh Air last year regarding smoking.  He said something along the lines of.."what happens when people blame the tobacco corporations, is it ignores a significant part of smoking, and that is that it feels/tastes so good to smoke a cigarette." 

Smoking has a lot of terrible consequences, but do we too often avoid some of the pleasure that it brings?
