Then stop trying to make it sound glamorous. Or balance the glamorous movie-star imagery in your posts with some imagery of the ugly side of smoking.
I suspect there was a bit of tongue-in-cheek going on in that first post.
Yes, I thought the same at first, which is why I didn't comment on the first post. Then he repeated it in a subsequent post. Once is tongue-in-cheek. Twice, and it's starting to sound like he works for a tobacco company and is trying to sell us on the glamour aspects of smoking.
And yes, I admit I am a little over-sensitive on this issue as 4 months ago I quit after 30 years of being a heavy smoker.
Blech:
My self-sim won't be complete until she has this to show you her stoopid. Another one of the negative moodlets could be waking up with a "sore throat" every god damn day. Or getting super pissy when you run out, until you get more you can only do mean socials.

This is certainly ages away from being possible. I don't think a smoking mod for Sims 2 came out until at least after OFB. The one from 2 was a modified food (actually a glass) item. But I think there were only cigarettes and joints - I never found any usable pipe or cigars.
It would be great to have custom moodlet if smoking is made for the Sims 3. Soar Throat, and maybe some sort of Cigarette Addiction (like a negative moodlet that only goes away after a cigarette - and then comes back after a few hours. Smoking a cigarette would probably raise energy slightly and make the Sim a little less hungry. But maybe a (recolored gray) "stink" would stick around for a while - so that other Sims would think a smoker or recent smoker smelled bad. Also, it would be very cool if smoking shortened a Sim's lifespan! Maybe, if teens smoke on a public lot, the police would pick them up - like with curfews.
Personally, since I don't smoke cigarettes anymore, I'd rather see a pipe or joint - with negative and positive moodlets. Moodlets like the Munchies (a renamed clone of the hungry or really hungry moodlet), perhaps a High moodlet, which would give like an hour + to mood. Smoking a joint would cause a Sim to become very hungry. Maybe Sims could have a slight boost to gaining friendship and a faster social gain with other Sims that are High? And it would have to frequently trigger the Contemplate Surroundings and the Think Hard actions, while also having the random queue drop giving by the Absentminded trait temporarily.
But yeah, cracking into the animations of the game isn't going to be possible for some time. Perhaps also, someday, a grow-able tobacco plant and cannabis plant could be made. After someone figures out how the Sims 3 plants work at all stages. I wish I were helpful into such matters, but I really can't do much without a tutorial to tell me. I am not awesome.

Yay for Kyna. I've lost too many people in my life to it, basically everyone who smoked consistently for the majority of their life. I have one smoker cousin left, and he's already having problems at "30".
In other news, I want a pony.
