Did you know that smoking cigarettes is not only extremely bad for your own health, but its cruel and horrific to animals? Here are a few experiments that are being done (qtd from Smokinganimals.com):
- Cutting holes in beagles' throats through which the dogs are forced to breathe concentrated cigarette smoke for a year.
- Inserting electrodes into dogs' penises to measure the effect of cigarette smoke on sexual performance.
- Strapping masks to the faces of rats and monkeys and permanently restraining them to force them to breathe cigarette smoke constantly.
- Forcing dogs to be on mechanical ventilators and chronically exposed to cigarette smoke.
- Restraining Rhesus monkeys in chairs with head devices and exposing them to nicotine and caffeine to determine how caffeine and nicotine affect breathing.
Smoking is unvegan (because of animal testing) if you smoke any brand of cigarettes other than American Spirit (which stopped 
testing). I'm not suggesting you smoke at all though, if you do so you are contributing to the approximately 3,400 lung cancer deaths of non-smokers!!!!!
However, if you do wish to continue the dirty habit, please switch to American Spirits, as they are considered the only "cruelty-free" brand, even though for years previous they have used animal testing.

I was doing some research the other day and I across this. http://www.tobacco.org/Resources/599ingredients.html if you look there is beeswax, honey, butter, and hydroginized milk solids added to cigarettes. And then through each ingredient and compared it to the animal derivities list from the National Anti-vivisection Societies "Personal Care with Principle" and there is about 15 other ingredients in cigarettes the are derived from animals... Hence if your stupid ignorant enough to claim vivisection is still vegan, this is the nail in the coffin for cigarettes and veganism
