I don’t smoke but I have ridden camels on a few occasions in Australia, Egypt and the US, so I have chosen the mammal as my answer to the 11th r2bcheerful challenge.

I guess if you needed to travel a significant distance, especially over a sandy, dry terrain they would certainly give you a reason to be cheerful, despite their tendency to grunt and spit and generally act like curmudgeons.
