Health concerns aside, the image of a person smoking always sets a mood. You see a feeling... you feel something tangible, often in a way you wouldn't if the smoke wasn't there, if the person wasn't obviously taking a time-out from his or her moment to reflect in a way a smoker does.
The smoke itself is part of the mood. It wafts and creates an otherworldly mist that seems to imply something more mysterious to the viewer. No matter what you feel about smoking, and I will not argue the merits, the use of the cigarette in art, or the presence of smoke in a photo, is... well, mood- capturing.
Check out the examples below... what do you think?
