    About this ebook

    Tired of being told to quit, put it out, stand outside, have some consideration, think about your health? Leaping to the defense of the smoker, The Daily Mirror's favorite columnist Sue Carroll and non-smoker Sue Brealey take a hilarious and irreverent look at the humble cigarette, its history, and its place in life and death, love and sex, fiction and the silver screen, and champions its survival in the face of a modern tide of persecution from the health police. As Johnny Carson once said, "I knew a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex and rich food. He was healthy, right up to the day he killed himself."
