Inhale!

Tobacco smoking is the practice where tobacco is burned and the vapors either tasted or inhaled. The practice began as early as 5000–3000 BC. The substance was met with frequent criticism, but became popular nonetheless.

Nestor Gianaklis by Apollinaire

Je goûte ton haleine plus exquise que la fumée
Tendre et bleue de l'écorce du bouleau
Ou d'une cigarette de Nestor Gianaklis
Ou cette fumée sacrée si bleue
Et qu'on ne nomme pas.

I taste your breath more exquisite than the smoke
Tender and blue of a birch's bark
Or of a Nestor Gianaklis cigarette
Or this sacred smoke so blue
And which you don't name.
