Aliens who come to Earth inevitably get hooked on our human vices. It’s just a natural law of the cosmos. And sooner or later, every extraterrestrial wants to smoke. It’s a filthy habit, but just barbaric enough to seem fascinating.
We’ve made a special video tribute to aliens who like to smoke, with clips from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who and X-Files, among many others.
