>And everybody smoked. On (in) the buses, trains, movies, parliament sessions, ambulance waiting rooms. We are practically kids of people who must have died before they met, they all smoked so much.

I was a 2 pack a dayer once upon a time (25s, not 20s), and I didn't smoke at work. I was pretty much doing most of those 2 packs in the evening. So, I refuse to comment on other people's smoking, no matter how stupid a habit it is (this is me not commenting).
