Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill.

Smoking is hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, and dangerous to the lungs.

Cigarettes are not a part of human behaviour, they are a habit.

Most human beings have enough sense to know that if they work in a city that has a serious smog problem, it's wise to either stay indoors or at least wear a mask that will filter out the poison. But cigarette smokers have their own little concentrated toxic smog pack that they don't avoid.

You really are being quite foolish to smoke.

There's nothing quite like tobacco: it's the passion of decent folk, and whoever lives without tobacco doesn't deserve to live.

I just don't want anyone messing around with my pure smoking pleasure.

I never can understand how anyone can not smoke it deprives a man of the best part of life. With a good cigar in his mouth a man is perfectly safe, nothing can touch him, literally.

One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way.

Look at any black-and-white movie; everybody is smoking.
