Women who smoke are hot:
Smoking is an activity that can be carried out in a sexy, seductive manner. Plus, if a woman is willing to behave recklessly in regards to her health, it implies that she might be willing to behave recklessly in other ways, as well.
But women who smoke are also not hot:
Smoking cigarettes is dirty, disgusting and stupid. Who wants to look (and smell) like a smoker? It's a shame to see a potentially beautiful woman with greyish-yellow skin. Face pinched and puffy; sharp, ugly wrinkles cut into it; growing old before her time.
Maybe the best thing is to have been a smoker and then quit. Quitting successfully shows that you have willpower and a certain strength of character, which is intriguing in itself. I love running into female friends with their eyes clear and healthy red colour in their cheeks and saying, "Really? A month since your last smoke, huh."
