One thing I didn't see mentioned here is second hand smoking - if you take up smoking you take it upon yourself to harm anyone who hangs out with you while you smoke, stands in the same area as you while you smoke, etc.
It's also something that really disturbes many people - e.x, I can't stand within 5 meters of someone smoking outdoors without choking, and I know quite a few others who can't be near smokers while they are smoking as well....
as such, you'll be doing actual harm to strangers and possibly your friends and family by smoking.
