You get into smoking and you are robbed of the last 25 years of your life. Some cocky souls will say, 'Ah yes, but they are the worst 25 years.' Nobody feels like that in a cancer ward. There are no cocky souls in a cancer ward. But there's a lot of pain, not just of the excruciating physical kind that they shoot you full of morphine to smother. There are a lot of tears. All round. It is hard to say goodbye to the people you love. And it's scary. Cancer wards have a way of knocking the cockiness out of you. And for what? Another cigarette?","author":"Tony Parsons","tags":["cancer","cigarettes","smoking"],"id":25939,"author_id":"Tony+Parsons"},{"text":"He smelled of cigarettes and whiskey, the smell of Cambridge and youth.","author":"Lily King","tags":["cambridge","cigarettes","whiskey","youth"],"id":37757,"author_id":"Lily+King"},{"text":"Interesting' people were her favorite hobby.

The second technique was the ever popular chimney fire and number three had to be the drunken cigarette drop on the carpet. Mind you, why they'd be cooking chips at this hour was anyone's guess.","author":"Adrian McKinty","tags":["carpet","chimneys","chip-pans","cigarettes","fire"],"id":99075,"author_id":"Adrian+McKinty"},{"text":"The phone is about the same size as a cigarette pack. It's no surprise to me that the traditional cigarette lighter in many cars has turned into the space we use to recharge our phones. They are kin. The phone, like the cigarette, let's the texter/former smoker drop out of any social interaction for a second to get a break and make a little love to the beautiful object. We need something, people.
