I sort of live in a cultural bubble -- everyone I spend significant time around is smart, educated, liberal, etc. Only a handful of them smoke, but I tend to like them and often have a chance to get to know them better at parties when we're outside smoking. This is also true at work, and there is something of a smoking club outside the two side exits of the building. I like it because all professional strata are erased. Division Presidents smoke and chat right along with the li'lest assistants, and everybody is on one comfortable level.
There is probably a world of people who smoke who I wouldn't like, but I wouldn't like them if the didn't smoke, either.
