For me, as with many people, it&#8217;s more psychological than physical. The cigarette is a fetishised object, not necessarily sexual, but part of a compulsion I can&#8217;t quite seem to disentangle myself from.<\/p>\n<p>So, on the subject of the smoking fetish, here&#8217;s part of an excellent reply from an agony column at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/37200602\/ns\/health-sexual_health\/\" target=\"_blank\">msnbc.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p class=\"textBodyBlack\"><em>&#8220;&#8230;In my old high school, if you wanted some idea of who the wicked girls  were, you\u2019d find out which ones snuck cigarettes in the bathrooms. These  weren\u2019t the goody-two-shoes, obey the rules,  no-making-out-on-the-first-date girls, no sireee! I remember \u2014 well,  never mind what I remember.\u00a0 The point is that smoking and naughtiness have  been linked since at least 1917 when silent film star Theda \u201cThe Vamp\u201d  Bara, billed as the wickedest woman in the world, lounged on a settee  wearing a transparent gown and languidly raising a cigarette to her  lips. This was five years before a woman in New York City was arrested  for smoking in public. It was 11 years before Edward Bernays pulled off  the most successful public relations stunt in history on behalf of the  American Tobacco Company by arranging for women to stroll down  Manhattan\u2019s Fifth Avenue in the 1929 Easter Parade while smoking. The  resulting rotogravure pictures in newspapers sent cigarette sales  soaring&#8230; Why can smoking be a turn on? A 2005 paper by  University of Southern California sociologist Julie Albright quotes  Freud\u2019s old saw about cigars and cigarettes being phallus substitutes:  \u201c\u2018To put it plainly: the fetish is a substitute for the woman\u2019s  (mother\u2019s) phallus which the little boy once believed in and does not  wish to forego\u2026.\u2019 The fetish as symbol of the mother\u2019s penis comes also  to represent her desire, thereby affirming that her desire lies with him  and not with the father.\u201d Maybe, but Freud was so wrong about so much&#8230;&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"textBodyBlack\">Read the entire piece <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/37200602\/ns\/health-sexual_health\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/37200602\/ns\/health-sexual_health\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sliderulesyou.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/dietrich.jpg?resize=383%2C273\" border=\"0\" height=\"273\" width=\"383\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having been a non-smoker for almost eighteen months, I&#8217;ve finally admitted to myself that, for at least half of that time, I&#8217;ve been a non-smoker-except-for-the-occasional-drag-when-out-with-other-smokers-and-of-course-an-occasional-cigarette-smoked-when-drunk-which-of-course-doesn&#8217;t-count-and-then-there-was-that-time-I-was-really-upset-and-I-just-needed-the-one-little-smoke-which-of-course-also-didn&#8217;t-count-and&#8230; So anyway, smoking is far more difficult to extricate oneself from than merely the breaking of a nicotine addiction.
