We used to make fun of the Soviets and their crude attempts to airbrush away unpopular history. Now we are in the grip of that AND Mao’s cultural revolution. So we are just as silly and deluded as they were. Worse, because our traditions should preclude that nonsense.

No rationing here, I have a cellar that will far exceed what I smoke, but if I live to 125, I might be hurting.

Two ounces of tobacco a day, and wet matches, would be my luck. Mine too, are we related? |

Most pipe smokers would smoke all day long throughout everything they did like a cigarette smoker. That's me. I go through about two pounds per month. It takes me about 6 weeks to burn up 8 oz. of tobacco....and that's during the warmer months of the year. In winter it may take me from Christmas to Valentine's Day to burn up half a pound. |

Walt Disney was a chain smoker and was known to always have a cigarette in his hand, yet in nearly all photos of him, the cigarettes have been removed. It accounts for the somewhat odd poses his hands are in. In 2007, Disney banned all smoking in their movies. When they produced Saving Mr. Banks, Walt Disney was depicted as a non-smoker. |

I looked at about a hundred images of portraits of RLS and I found 3 where he was holding a cigarette, or at least a cigarette holder. There was one were he was holding a pen, but he was writing at a desk.
