Though there's a small increased chance of changing your mouth occlusion (open bite and/or overjet) and/or infecting your thumb, and you risk poor social definition, it's a good habit. Good because it's free, legal, convenient, effective at inducing deep, satisfying sleep and instant calm during the waking hours, is quiet, without calories, drugs or alchohol, nonintrusive and more.

Are there correlations between smoking and thumb-sucking or using a pacifier?

I wasn't able to stop smoking until I restarted my thumb sucking habit. This was when I was almost 12 years old (yes...I know...) and had been smoking since I was 8 after I stopped sucking my thumb shortly before. Though it has changed the shape of my teeth (my uppers are far more forward than they used to be), and I'm now 18 years old, I think sucking my thumb is far better than smoking, in terms of health. I don't care what others think or do or stare about. It's my thumb and I'm not interfering with their space, so thumb's up...and in! I know if I stopped sucking my thumb I'd start smoking again.
