When I first rode I was a smoker and would occasionally smoke while riding. They disappeared very fast and carried the risk as noted above of blowing ash in your face and eyes.
I gave it up nearly 15 years ago.
King James I of England, who was on the throne when Walter Raleigh brought tobacco to the UK from the Americas wrote of smoking in 1604,
"A custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless."
