I suppose the lowest point on the whole smoking thing was being impoverished and forced to smoke roll-ups.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no baccy-snob, but the point is this-

During times of economic stress (and there were many in the dim & distant past) or if the shops were shut, the addiction didn't understand, it still screamed to your brain to be fed.

So the only option was to get a fag paper, dig around in an ash tray full to Royle-family proportions, and empty out the remaining unsmoked baccy from a selction of butts to create a roll-up.

Roll-ups per se are fine, it's just THOSE roll-ups....

(actually, if you are smoking roll-ups as a rule, then creating emergency ones from other rollies is not as disgusting as doing it from ordinary fags.)

Happily, I've been nicotine free for very nearly 2 years, so "yay me" & all that bollocks.

Being an addictive sort, my nicotine replacement therapy has been pornography. But modern day grot doesn't float the boat, it is the moustache & bush-fest that is the 1970s.

Real women. Gets my salute, as it were.

Length? Doesn't matter, it's mine & I'll wash it as fast as I like.
