You'll get sick easier, paeticularly with throat infections. Also in many first world countries, it's expensive - roll-ups usually less so, but it takes a while for most people to learn how to roll a good ciggie.
On the other hand, if you're in your 20s, its an easy way to talk to other people, and generally speaking, the saying is true - girls who smoke are usually a bit more sexually liberal, just as long as you have basic social skills. Its also just a cool way to kill time and have brief "my life is a movie" introspective moments, and cigs go really with both coffee and alcohol. So long as you keep down to about half a pack most days and you don't already have health issues, you can give up whilst in your mid-late 20s and basically suffer no long term health issues. Personally I didn't find it that hard to quit.
