| 1186451 | 2011-03-17 03:55:00 | Probably didn't have half the chemicals in smokes as they do now? Probably not much different, but if raised in the UK Midlands, or any big city, by the age of around 14 when one took the first illicit puff, one's lungs were already well coated and protected by years of industrial smoke and winter pea-souper smogs, and scarred by annual bouts of winter bronchitis and whooping cough. Amazing really how we survived, no anti-biotics either. Yet these days everyone runs screaming at the very word asbestos :thumbs: Down at the local snooker hall it was difficult to see the cush at the other end of the table.....:clap |

Whilst of an age to be at secondary school, on Saturday afternoon after lunch, I used to go down to the "Pictures" and get in as the main film started, watch that and the B Movie, Then change to a totally different part of the cinema and watch the main film all over again. The bonus was there were very few smokers in at that time of the day. Then they tried to introduce non-smoking areas - fat lot of difference that made! :angry. For years I refused to go up into the Circle 'cos it was even more concentrated up there! |

Both my parents smoked, and as they got to "that age", both my brothers took it up. Day trips to "the coast" with the car windows shut tight were a nightmare! |
