The thing with cigarettes is not that they will kill you, it's more so the manner in which they will kill you that you should stop.
Seriously, you should switch to snus or dip. The risk of oral cancer is greatly exaggerated (in fact the risk of oral cancer from smokeless tobacco is far smaller than the risk of oral cancer from smoking - and how often do you hear about someone with oral cancer from smoking?)

Again, it's not the fact the smoking kills you.
It's the way it kills you.

I would very much like the option to put cigarettes in my character's ear/lip, or to add a wad of tobacco to their cheek. :) AUT5M - Active WH Corporation seeking new recruits.

Actually as countries in Europe moved from smoking to snuff, their rates of oral cancer declined. Research shows that the risk of oral cancer from smokeless tobacco is barely above the baseline rate.

You get a better nicotine profile from snuff. I'd rather smell like an ashtray than have to carry around a bottle full of spit. But on the plus side at least you can use snuff/dip in airports and on airplanes.
Well snuff ("snus" in Sweden) and dip are two somewhat different things. Snus does not produce spitting. "Dip" often produces spitting in inexperienced users. After a couple of weeks you no longer need to spit - you can control your salivation and you can control how much of the tobacco "juice" gets into your spit. If you dip for more than a month and you're still spitting, you're doing it wrong. Try a top deck. AUT5M - Active WH Corporation seeking new recruits.

Actually you need to look at the table that juxtaposes developing and developed nations. Hint: Developed nations smoke more.
Lung Cancer is number 5. COPD (which is caused almost exclusively by smoking in developed nations) is number 3.
Ishemic heart disease... well that's multifaceted. It's due to narrowing of the arteries in the heart due to plaques. This can be partly dietary. But it can also be caused by smoking - smoking raises the blood pressure, which has been shown to cause irritation and damage to the endothelial lining of the vasculature (in particular the arteries). The carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke has been proven to cause irritation to the endothelial lining as well. These small tears and areas of irritation are where the plaque forms. Thrombosis (clotting) is also another factor involved in a heart attack. Smoking has been shown to increase clotting in the blood. So when you smoke you are literally creating an environment conducive to heart attacks (and strokes - ie, cerebrovascular disease - which is number 2 on that list).
The top three killers in developed nations are all linked to smoking.

It makes me feel superior to the passive aggressive little wiener. They're trying to politely call you on your rudeness. What's rude about it? It's outdoors, and the smoke is going up. Or there's a little breeze, at most they're just going to smell a little tobacco smoke. Does that put them at grave risk from second-hand smoke? As for "polite," there's nothing polite about it. It's basically saying "F you, I want to you know that what you're doing is bothering me. Me, me me!" But not having the guts to say it to the person's face. They can kiss my Butt. (See what I did there?)
Do you think it' rude to blast loud music in public?

It makes me feel superior to the passive aggressive little wiener. They're trying to politely call you on your rudeness. No. They are unable to act like a normal, rational human being and talk to you directly, but instead have to hide themselves behind something you call "politeness" and I call "being a liar, a coward and a hypocrit".
And you're qualified to determine what's normal and rational for human beings?

Because OP made a thread about smoking?
That's... the subject of the thread?
If OP made a thread about bacon...
...then the subject of that thread would be bacon.
Would you then reply "why is OP only focusing on bacon?"
