Smokers' Paradise is an extended play by Breaking Circus.{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/breaking-circus-mn0000512923/biography|title=Breaking Circus | Biography & History|website=AllMusic}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/56674/in-memory-of-the-rock-band-breaking-circus|title=In Memory of the Rock Band Breaking Circus by Stephanie Burt|first=Poetry|last=Foundation|date=October 13, 2020|website=Poetry Foundation}} It was released in 1987 on Homestead Records. It is the first and only Breaking Circus release to feature second guitarist Phil Harder. It was intended as a full-length album with four songwriting contributions each from Björklund, Flour, and Trainer. When Homestead Records insisted that it be a six-song EP (possibly due to budget restrictions), Flour and Trainer's contributions were limited to one song each, while all of Björklund's songs appeared on the record.
