He gets out of his house some 4 times a day only to smoke. He studies for like 17-18 hours a day & I have seen that myself.Then some medical students in my neighborhood, used to smoke only to release their stress, since they had to spend some 20 hours waking up. My uncle is heavily dependent on strong tea which he takes some 15 times a day but doesn't smoke.So, smoking has more to do with dealing with stress for most people. I won't judge people on their habits of drinking or smoking. I have seen many spiritual people who live in a completely different tangent & smoke only for their mental health.
