Smoke Without Fire

Edie Sedgwick

Through out history, we've seen plenty of "it-girls" and icons smoke carelessly and casually.
And today, both girls and women do it who, I assume, want to be seen as "beautiful".
I think cigarrettes and beauty go hand in hand because of the way smoking is shown in the media.
In cigarrette ads, people are shown having a wonderful time at parties.
Or there are pictures of celebrities holding cigs or modeling them.
Even television shows have their characters smoking.
The question I pose to my readers tonight is, what is beautiful about smoking?
I'm not putting it down by any means, I'm just interested in why people, women in particular, find it appealing.
