Never seen the appeal myself. My parents were smokers, and I never felt compelled to do it myself, though my brother ended up becoming one too. All the health and 'politeness' reasons aside, I just think the cost is absurd. I saw packets over $15 at my local corner store a few days ago, and my mother goes through 2-3 packets a week, so if she pays that sort of price where she lives, I need to smack her. >.<
But then, I never saw the appeal of alcohol for the same reasons. Too high a cost for such little (if any) benefit. Even when I was on a six figure income, I never thought about wasting my money in such a manner. But I've always been frugal. ^^;;
