    Used to smoke Bensons when I was a lad, well, for about 25 years. Haven’t had a tab for 20 years now.
    Still smoke cigars when I go on holiday, never bothers me at home.

    ask her to translate a document into Russian. She told Bloomberg: “I said to him 'You know, you could ask me out to lunch without any translation,’ and he said, ‘Oh, yes, yes.’”

    I took up smoking for a week. Way back in 1967. Was on holiday with Mum,Dad and brother at Sands Caravan Site at Whitley Bay. I was 14 at the time and didn't really want to hang around with my parents too much. I took up smoking for a week, too look hard. Used to hide the smokes behind the wheel of the caravan. The Offending Box was players number 10!!! Never purchased a box since, but have smoked a very occasional ***, last time I clearly remember was Xmas Eve 1985. I have made up for ridding this vice by having the occasional slrp or 3.

    Never smoked but before they gave up, my Da bought Gold Leaf (and Benson's on payday) and my Ma Number 10s. The last 30 odd years of their lives were cig free ones which was great.
    I did buy 5 Woodbines when I was 10 but only tried one for a second or two and never touched any again.

    The one time I tried a pipe I sucked in some rank tobacco juice while trying to get it going, never again. I can still taste it now.

    I smoke like a mother ****er me like, by reading this forum you’d think I was the only one left <laugh>

    I have stopped a couple times, if I’m seeing a lass who doesn’t smoke I can happily knock them in the head for a while, but I enjoy a cheeky snout so I do it.

    Asides from that and a massive weakness for certain scran I do look after myself, can’t see a point when I stop altogether to be honest.

    Probably the same in other places, around Blyth town centre the smack heeds trawl all the communal ashtrays and empty them for the dog ends.
    Whilst this pandemic is serious, one of the first thing I looked for was the effect it was having on the smack heeds. I expected them to be dropping like flies, but this has not been the case, and the smackheeds have carried on with their roach like existence undeterred.

    You have to be in one bad way to do that. They used to trawl the gutters back in the sixties with their golden Virginia tin and their faces lit up if they found half a tab.

    started at 10 on a shared pack of woodbines, then no more till mid teens on sterling. Gave up for a year then onto embaassy. Used to find giving up was easy it was not starting again was the problem but finally gave up in mid 1980s

    I only smoke when I drink these days, but Mayfair are usually the preferred choice.

    I wonder if we'll ever know what his game was. Probably just bigging himself up but if you're going to do that and it's complete bullshit then a league one side seems an odd choice.

    Yeah it does maybe more of a calculated believable move. Still weird as **** in reality, playground stuff.
