As a smoker, I can say that this second animation looks very realistic.
True, a greater thinning and spreading out at the top would be even more
realistic, but its damn good now!

However, one little tweak:  (at least on my cigarettes) the smoke starts out
looking like straightened double-helix; thickness on either side and thinner
in the middle. I don't know if this is possible to do, but after looking
closely, that's what it looks like.  :)

Anyway, keep up the awesome work!
