While on the subject of smoking, in the Yorkshire police series, "Heartbeat", the character PC Alf Ventress always had a fag stuck in his mouth, whereas William Simon the actor who played him was a non-smoker. He used herbal cigarettes.

When I was young I tried a herbal cigarette and it smelled as though I had thrown an old tyre on a bonfire.( I was well looked after in intensive care.)

Times change John, Nowadays the kids burn the tyre while it is still on the car.

Parents can be really cruel letting their children inhale secondary smoke. They should give them the money to buy their own.

smoking

Waiting at the bus stop today there was a man in the queue who smoked as if fags were going out of fashion. I have never seen anyone get as much smoke into his lungs as he did. His cheeks went hollow as he inhaled for longer than I would have thought possible. As soon as the fag came out of his mouth he blew the smoke out in great clouds and almost disappeared in the fug.

The killer is that once he threw the fag end away he stood breathing in and out at the rate of almost two complete cycles per second. No prizes offered for guessing the state of his lungs and, no - I don’t need to see his X-Rays or read his medical files.

TC.

smoking

I was sitting around this morning having a quiet think, when suddenly I thunk, - have little kiddywinks been encouraged to start smoking by reading children’s books. In particular I would point the finger at Thomas the Tank Engine and Puff the Magic Dragon.

Plus we were brought up with the Tar Babys, Bill InHaley, Tab Hunter aynd Smokey Robinson.

Ps. I would respectfully remind you Mr. Richards that this is under "Hot Topic" where Jocularity is frowned upon.
