She's Spitfire - trick flier extraordinaire, commanding officer of the Wonderbolts, an Equestrian hero, and a role model for everypony that lays eyes upon her. For that reason, the fact that she smokes is something that the 'Bolts try to keep hidden - it protects her image, their image, and protects the youth of Equestria from her bad habit.
Because, as all of Equestria knows, smoking is bad.
Her secret remains contained within the Wonderbolts, to the point that many of their newest recruits don't even know about her habit until they join. So when they find out, well... they all have their own reactions.
And then there's her faithful executive officer, who hates her habit but is always there to back her up, in public or private. Because Soarin's her XO, and that's what an XO does.
This story is rated as 'Teen' due to the somewhat mature topics - particularly tobacco use.
Nicotine. The things us users will do to meet our fix...
Hard case, interesting to see where this one goes, keep up the good work!
Electronic cigarettes solve most all the problems, even the economic one to a great extent, all that remains is the body's permanent inability to produce nicotine by itself. But nobody will inform the populace at large, because there is no money in it.
(Sorry to write this instead of a review, but I found it relevant and important enough to repeat whenever a opportunity shows itself, and a larger text would distract)

Kinda obvious on that, really. Even if it's 'fake' smoke and such, it's still nicotine.
Some kind of side effect is to be expected.

I'll be following this and hoping that she kicks the habit.

Well lung cancer is one way to retire I guess.
Smoking kills, but so does life. It's just that hard, and all people have different ways of getting through it.
We all need love, and every one of us shows it in different ways.

The video is ridiculous, I know. If you can tolerate it, then God bless you.
I've been looking forward to this story updating ever since I read the first chapter.
I like this surlier Spitfire you have created.
Finally, I've been waiting almost 4 months! I'm sure you had your reasons, and I really hope this story gets the publicity it deserves.
