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."
