In my line of work there is a big stigma attached to smoking. It can affect your voice and looks, and if anyone thinks you are doing it you are seen in a different light when looking for work, even if it hasn't had that big an effect yet.
Even Michael Richards smoking cigars on the set of the show for a scene was considered rather scandalous on set and in the community of TV people, and he has obviously had some hard times since then.
