And those wankers who use those vapes that are literally like a bloody chimney massive columns of smoke, or vape I should say. They always seem to be blackcurrant flavoured plumes. Can't they just carry around a carton of Ribena like the old days?

I don't know if the volume has increased in the past few years but there's seems to be a documentary or series about WW2 or Nazis on continuous rotation across multiple channels.
Nazi Mega Structures! Apocalypse Hitler! Rise of the Nazis

I too would smoke if it didn't look stupid, smell horrible, negatively affect your health and cost a fortune. You do get to annoy some people though

I never smoked, but I often chose to sit in the smoking carriages on East Coast Main Line trains back when they were a thing, in order to avoid screaming children. A foolproof plan! I used to sit in the smoking room at breaks in my first job, purely as the smokers were much more entertaining. And I used to help to do the telegraph crossword with the cantankerous elder stateswoman of the office.

At my last job in the UK it used to irritate the fuck out of me (and a few others) that smokers basically got a five minute break for free every hour or so. But when us non-smokers started taking the same break out of protest we got yelled at for not working. Proper bullshit.

When I used to work for a fashion company not smoking used to really hold my career back. A lot of the big decisions were made when they were chatting to each other in the smoking area. Really used to piss me off.

Fucks sake, just caught sight of the back of my head in a cctv camera feed.
There is a (to me, VERY) noticeable 10p sized thinning/balding area in my crown. My hairline hasn't changed up front since my late twenties and hasn't gone back much.
So this is how baldness is going to get me. π

On a related topic, why on earth do they still have no smoking lights on aircraft? AFAIK you haven't been able to smoke on planes for decades, or are their still commercial flights where you can puff away?

If those lights weren't there everyone would be obliged to light up, obviously.

A few airlines let you smoke up until a couple of years ago, probably some domestic flights in a tutti frutti dictatorship where you can. Japan loves a bit of indoor smoking, a real disconnect with the borderline national paranoia over health to see smoke filled stinky restaurants everywhere. I canβt stand fag smoke, I grew up in a smoke filled house. It stops me taking my kids to see my folks tbh, the fact they get through about 40 a day between them and the walls are yellow

My dads mum and my mums dad smoked. My gran used to pile through the rothmans and my grandad smoked a pipe. Weirdly, I remember the pipe smoke really fondly. I think he used to get baccy with vanilla in it or something.
When he died of throat cancer, obviously, my mum was livid as at the wake, all his brothers dropped like chewing tobacco or something all over our carpet and left our house smelling like an east end boozer.

To be fair, I think my dislike of smoking night be slightly influenced by several family members having smoked a fuck ton and getting lung / throat cancer and dying, the daft bastards.

Ironically the air quality on flights has dropped after they banned smoking as theyβve reduced the amount of fresh air into the cabin. So basically theyβve replaced the smoke with farts.

Interesting point there. You're not allowed to smoke on flights, but you are allowed to fart. Double standards?

Both my parents smoked, although my dad gave up before I was born. My mum used to get through 40-60 a day though and gave up.in her mid-50s. Just....stopped. Same with booze, which she only gave up 8/9 years ago. Stubborn fucker is my mum.
