But there remains palpable discontent among Russia’s 44 million-strong smoking community, and Mikhail Boyarsky, a celebrated Soviet actor who also co-chairs the movement for smokers’ rights, said the government should leave smokers alone.
“Smokers have a different way of life. They look at the world differently and don’t mess with nonsmokers,” Boyarsky said in a video address posted on the movement’s website.
“A cigarette is a good friend. It can also be an enemy to a certain extent, but not for everyone. People who understand the meaning of smoking, I think God looks after them,” said Boyarsky, who has served as a campaign representative of President Vladimir Putin.

im Flemming interviewed the author, Richard Klein, about his book "." Calling upon the great philosopher, Immanuel Kant, Klein (as the title of the book suggests) associates the Sublime with the pleasures of smoking. All truly great things start off with a dark moment and then there is a release--the Sublime. Doesn't it seem that all adult pleasures begin like this? Your first taste of alcohol burned your throat and nostrils, but soon came a blanket of warmth that tickled your insides and blossomed a grin. The awkwardness of your first time, whether it was in the back seat of a car or in a fancy hotel on your wedding night, soon dissolved into notes sung by a choir of golden angels.

Richard Klein writes_______________ Cigarettes are Sublime: "warning smokers or neophytes of the dangers entices them more powerfully to the edge of the abyss, where, like travelers in a Swiss landscape, they can be thrilled by the subtle grandeur of the perspectives on mortality that open up by the little terrors in every puff. Cigarettes are bad. That is why they are good–not good, not beautiful, but sublime."
