As a former pipe and cigar smoker, I’d have to say that smoking probably detracts from the fun of Purim. I don’t think I ever smoked on Purim between all the mitzvos of the day and wanting to enjoy the taste of the food, wine and mashke.

Smoking something else would be another story as it probably would get you to ad d’loi yodo fast but it is of course ossur for many reasons and should be avoided at all costs even on Purim.
