It stinks, smoking. There are many websites to tell you as much. If you're a non-smoker, you'll nod along with it. If you are a smoker, you'll nod along with it. Here's the difference: we smokers understand your concerns and anger, and increasingly try not to provoke. You fabulously fail to even entertain the idea of our addiction, and constantly attempt to find new ways to provoke, and ban, because now you can. And, no, it doesn't make you cool. It makes you addicted. Your teeth stain and fall out. Your lungs stain and fall out. Barack Obama just about got away with it, because it revealed a charming human weakness. Nick Clegg didn't, on Desert Island Discs, because at that stage we didn't need him to reveal weakness but backbone (and, by the way, he's a complete pussy when it comes to smoking. I rather like the man, still, but he actually said "hardcore", quite possibly with an exclamation, when I offered him a B&H during the last election campaign).
