>since it doesn't even feel good
It does, personally. Smoking some tasty thing on a cold day and feeling the smoke and heat feels awesome, not to say anything about nicotine: I don't feel like it relaxed me, really. Not exactly. It focused me, gave me a longer attention span and faster, narrower wits. Great for writing - words or music - and thinking. Also got me kinda dizzy, which was funny, in a way. Guess I'm the kind of person that likes nicotine but hates weed.
Now, do you know the biggest, greatest thing about smoking? It is an easy way out of social situations, a clear "don't bother me" signal, a past-time, and a conversation starter with odd/nice people all at once.
You are having a shit time at a party? Go take a smoking break, someone in the smoking area is going to start chatting, and they tend to be good, nice, friendly people. Even better if you offer them a lighter or are smoking something odd or different.
You're feeling awkward as you always feel in a social situation? Light a smoke, suddenly you have something to do and all is fine.
You're waiting for something for hours and there's absolutely nothing to do and you're starting to feel bored and time just doesn't go by? Light a cig.
Now, I loved smoking my pipe with that delicious chocolate-scented tobacco, but the most practical use was cig only.
I don't smoke anymore. Been what, 6 months? Never really got addicted and smoking kinda got stale after I got short on money to buy good tobbaco for ryos. Industrial cigs are just horrid. And I noticed it got my sweat and cum tasting all kinds of wrong, that too.
But I miss the social practicality of cigs. So much that I'm buying 0 nicotine tutti-frutti flavored juice for my e-cig first opportunnity. Nothing is as practical for someone who's awkward as blowing smoke. Really, nothing. At all.

Doesn't know how it is around there, friend. But here, smokers are being pushed from all sides - so much there's no other place to smoke other than in public or inside one's own home. And as you said, smoking at home is a bad, bad idea.
