That's very subjective and quite debatable... I, for one, would probably rather smell diesel exhaust.

I love that picture, though. Makes me laugh to imagine Armstrong, Popovych, and Kloden just riding along near the front of the peloton lighting up...

I'm doing really well on trying to quit, but even smoking I couldn't do it when riding.
I quit this past winter myself after about ten years smoking. I didn't cycle regularly or very seriously when I smoked, but when I did ride, I didn't/couldn't combine the two.
I do see a guy almost every day lately on my commute home in the afternoon who stops at any one of a handful of different spots along the MUP and sits there with his bike, in jeans and a white tee-shirt, puffing away, enjoying the day. Good for him, I guess. He looks like he's been smoking a long time; it shows. But at least he's riding, I guess.
