I see space as this big void that has not been deflowered by the human race yet. There have been no murders in space, no stealing in space, etc etc etc. I doubt that astronauts have smoked cigarettes in space due to the fact that it would probably f*ck up their air filtration system or something. Dipping would be a disaster in space with no gravity. Can you imagine your spitter emptying out into the air and contaminating everything in sight? Possibly the worst thing ever. I do bet that an astronaut has beat it in space though. Wouldn't you? What a great story to tell your friends.

This is actually interesting and quasi-perverted:

Which raises the question: Would space sex be any good? Recent research suggests it would not. For one thing, zero gravity can induce nausea—a less-than-promising sign for would-be lovers. Astronauts also perspire a lot in flight, meaning sex without gravity would likely be hot, wet, and surrounded by small droplets of sweat. In addition, people normally experience lower blood pressure in space, which means reduced blood flow, which means … well, you know what that means....more
