A friend told me years ago (UK) that the tricky bit was the Pub (before the universal ban on smoking in pubs) it seemed to be (for him) the natural accompaniment to drinking beer, Now they have banned it and made it an "outdoor, cold and wet activity" I hope it will help you, Thats, maybe the time when a Guitar in your hands to keep them busy will pay off!! Good Luck anyway, I dont smoke(except a good cigar aabout once every 2 years) But I do LOVE Single malts, but am fairly abstemious even with them.
