I don't think it's ludicrous, I think you just havn't thought it through properly.

The performance of smoking a cigarette is something which you brought up earlier in this thread, explaining how you aspire to smoke "as Steve McQueen like as possible". That's because you've recognised some sort of style which appeals to you and it's something you wish to duplicate. Other young people have the same mentality as you. They see the act of smoking a cigarette and wish to copy it.

Alcohol is different. The act of drinking is something we all do which is not exclusive to consuming alcohol.
