Advantage ? You immediately learn firsthand why the unpleasantness of that first inhalation of burnt tobacco into a heretofore healthy set of lungs is like touching a hot stove with your hands.

Disadvantage ? You learn to ignore the inexorable pain of leaving your hands on that hot stove...by convincing yourself that the inevitable damage you choose to inflict upon yourself with each cigarrette....is worth the unavoidable result of leaving your hands on that hot stove....

"Look Ma, no hands!" Cool...
