I smoke and I would strongly encourage you *not* to do it; it's very easy to underestimate just how addicted you are until you try to quit, and statistically only the minority of those who try to quit actually succeed, and even then it takes multiple, serious attempts to do so.

If you absolutely do insist on doing it, I would recommend rolling your own by hand. You can buy loose leaf tobacco, paper and filters at any tobacco shop - some sell higher quality stuff than others. Best case scenario? You try it a few times and get too frustrated to keep trying. Worst case scenario? You get more tobacco for your money than individual packs, the loose tobacco smells infinitely better than manufactured cigarettes, and I've found that when I roll my own I don't smoke as much because it's just not as convenient. It doesn't take too long to roll when you get good at it, but unless you're using a machine (don't buy one) you usually wind up making a cigarette that doesn't have as much tobacco as a manufactured one, so it burns more quickly. And I don't care enough to prepare cigarettes for my car rides so I wind up not smoking in the car as much.

PLUS you can get pipe tobacco - just take a couple pinches, mix it in with the regular bag/can of loose leaf cigarette tobacco and it will smell so much better.

My roommate's wife hated any bad odor, and had a really sensitive sense of smell, and hated smoking, and even she didn't mind that I smoked a pipe tobacco/rolling tobacco blend because it doesn't smell like trash cigarettes.
