Your first cigaretteTo be honest, inhaling the fumes from some burning leaves isn't the most natural thing in the world.
Tell us about the first time. Where, when, and who were you trying to show off to?
Or, if you've never tried a cigarette, tell us something interesting on the subject of smoking.
Personally, I've never ever smoked a cigarette. Lung damage from pneumonia put me off.

Think you've misunderstood me a bit there, FrankI'm not talking about someone standing next to me who is bothered by my smoke - if someone asked me to move so I wasn't smoking beside them, I would graciously do so.
My beef is with the kind of people, who, when they find out you smoke, perhaps through casual conversation, will then hound you to give it up, spouting health risks and other bullshit that I already know. Basically, I can't stand anyone that feels the need to stamp their beliefs on others.
And in answer to your theoretical, if you did lay a steaming log right in front of me, I would simply be able to walk away, to a part of the pub/world where there isn't a giant turd smelling up the place. I think the metaphor works quite nicely.
