A community portal about Tobacco smoking with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Tobacco smoking, often referred to as "smoking", is the act of burning the dried or cured leaves of the tobacco plant and inhaling the smoke for pleasure or ritualistic purposes, or more commonly out of habit and to satisfy addiction.
