The short answer: Yes, there is money to be made.

The longer answer: Yes, there is money to be made *if* you take the time to research and understand the niche. People who are into smoking are very particular about what they like --- and it's not like just throwing up some pics of girls with big tits along with some generic text --- a photo or video of a girl holding a cigarette, or a girl puffing out some smoke she didn't inhale isn't going to get you much of anywhere. If you spend the time to learn the difference between a french inhale and a snap inhale --- and even better, if *you* find smoking women sexy and can write text that reflects that, then yes, there is money to be made :-)

(BTW Dan, most DVD's we've seen put out by people who aren't *fully into* the smoking fetish market, aren't anything that people with a smoking fetish would be interested in - and quite honestly, the profits to be made on smoking DVDs are much smaller than in more well-known niches. I once told a model's agent that if we sold 300 copies of her DVD we'd be thrilled, and he said "300,000 units? That's fantastic!" And I said, "um, no.......300 copies." Admittedly, we only sell by mail to our existing base, and don't have retail distribution deals, but smoking DVDs don't sell a lot of copies. The market is much more online-based.)
