I hope you paid her. 10 quid a packet and you're getting it for free. Bloody liberty.

You sound envious of how cool they were.

I was a heavy smoker for 40 years smoking 40 a day until I switched to small cigars but still managed to get through 15 of them a day.

As you say, it's a pointless habit but a drug nevertheless that is difficult to give up once hooked

I'm intrigued to know what 'bits' are available from a cigarette kiosk, other than...well... cigarettes.
