I have always wondered this question for a long time so I will ask.
I have seen episodes of Quantum leap where Scott smoked and films where he smoked cigarettes.
Does he really smoke or are there ways to make it look like he is.
 
All I know is that there are herbal cigarettes you can use instead of the dangerous ones.
:)

But I don't know what was used.
 
He also smoked a pipe as Dr. Bryant in Star Crossed.

He smokes several times, particularly in early episodes, yet in later episodes he is clearly anti-smoking.

My PCR explanation for this is that just as Sam can be affected by the leapees stammer [Will Kinman] and heart condition [Larry Stanton] etc. so in some leaps he 'synergises' and absorbs the leapees craving for nicotine.

Probably as good an explanation as any!:hat
