Actually, I think smoking makes people look... slightly comical? The way they stand there and suck smoke and puff it out and hold the little smoldering wrapper of tar and tobacco and whatever else they put in those things in that funny little way they do...
Also, a lot of smokers seem to walk with one hand held as though they were holding a cigarette at their side, even when they're not, which I find hilarious for some reason I can't quite place.

It depends on who is smoking and more importantly how they're smoking, if it's done right smoking is incredibly elegant.
I voted un-cool. I smoke in the evening and during weekends myself though, mostly because it's just delicious, even though it's absolutely disgusting. It's hard to explain why you smoke, you have to be slightly addicted I guess. But a beer or coffee with a smoke knows no equal.
I've stopped a few times for a month or so, with the knowledge that I don't care to much if I continue smoking. And yes, after that period I returned, just because it's quite delicious. Regardless, smoking does not really make you cool nowadays, perhaps if you're still at high school.

Granted, some of the effects of smoking can detract majorly from your coolness (lung cancer isn't really 'in' this season) but so can being the 'anti-smoker'.
A non-smoker is simply someone who doesn't smoke (or at least doesn't make a regular habbit of it, I have a cigar every now and then on special occasions like birthdays or Xmas but other than that I don't smoke, so I'm a non-smoker), an 'anti-smoker' (as I see it anyway) is someone who takes every possible oppertunity to rip the everlasting piss out of people who smoke and are normally the ones who are offended by smoking (I personally couldn't care less about second hand smoke and I don't understand why you can see a man get ripped in half in a film and still get a 15 rating yet someone lighting up anything other than a Victorian gentleman's pipe instantly warrants an 18 age limit).
Ask me to compare a smoker to an anti-smoker and I'd sooner put up with the vague smell of smoke than self rightious prattle.
And also, what happened to Jim Fixx? Didn't smoke, didn't drink, didn't do drugs and had a healthy lifestyle yet he still died of a massive heart attack (while jogging) at a reletively young age (52 isn't that old when you think about it). In other words, just because you profess to being healthly and not participating in these 'leathal habbits' it doesn't always mean you're going to live longer.
