Quotes About Cigarettes

~ Katharine Whitehorn
I'm annoyed by the lack of smoking on TV as well. It's terrible. It's funny seeing old interviewers lighting up, the likes of Russell Harty pulling on a Three Castles or a State Express or a Churchman Full Strength or a Passing Cloud. I think it's a shame that we don't get to see this any more. We should have more ashtrays on morning TV and presenters wheezing.
~ Mark E. Smith
The news is an addictive product. Like cigarettes, this product can have a profound negative impact on your health. Almost without exception it will make you lonelier, more anxious, more distrustful of others, and more depressed.
~ Matt Taibbi
Or dozing and waking under mosquito netting in a mess of slick sweat, gagging for air that wasn't 99 percent moisture, one clean breath to dry-sluice your anxiety and the backwater smell of your own body. But all you got and all there was were misty clots of air that corroded your appetite and burned your eyes and made your cigarettes taste like swollen insects rolled up and smoked alive, crackling and wet.
~ Michael Herr
One of our favourite things to do was to go behind the tuckshop and smoke cigarettes.

I don't smoke, not really. Only at parties, I'll steal someone else's, and I usually have a few in my bag, in case I'm walking down the street and I want to experience that New York feeling, of being one of those women who wear high-heeled boots and smoke cigarettes.
~ Naomi Alderman
In 2006, U.S. district judge Gladys Kessler found that the tobacco industry had "devised and executed a scheme to defraud consumers and potential consumers" about the hazards of cigarettes, hazards that their own internal company documents proved they had known about since the 1950s.
~ Naomi Oreskes
?i ciufulite,rumene,bete de tigari si de aer,zburam spre cas?.
~ Nina Berberova
For some reason, filters on cigarettes seem dirty to me. If you were going to smoke, then it had to be unfiltered. Smoking those Shikishimas throws a person's whole character into question.
~ Osamu Dazai
How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.
~ Oscar Wilde
You know, if government were a product, selling it would be illegal. Government is a health hazard. Governments have killed many more people than cigarettes or unbuckled seat belts ever have.
~ P. J. O'Rourke
There are no nonsmokers in this business. Just people trying to quit, and people who haven't started yet.
~ Unknown
Skin care. Seriously. If you take nothing else from my story, receive this: Skin care is sacred. Most women who did coke back in the 1990s looked beat by the mid-aughts. That was a strong deterrent for me. I won't say I never tried it, but I wasn't about to sacrifice my complexion for it. Same with cigarettes. You may as well hit yourself in the face with a shovel.
~ Paris Hilton
There was a small park across from the hospital with paths among the trees. As Conor and his father walked through it toward an empty bench, they kept passing patients in hospital gowns, walking with families or out on their own sneaking cigarettes. It made the park feel like an outdoor hospital room. Or a place where ghosts went to have a break.
~ Patrick Ness
One—about cigarettes—I was pleased to see that anticigarette ad on the back issue of Hustler. I'm more offended by seeing ads for cigarettes in magazines than pictures of vaginas, because one kills and the other gives life—and I think that's an important difference.
~ Paul Krassner
Pe atunci, ziceam c? Parisul e minunea minunilor, ?i a?a ?i era. La urma urmei, noi l-am inventat. Noi l-am creat, cu dorurile noastre, cu ?ig?rile ?i romul St. James; l-am pl?smuit din fum ?i conversa?ii de?tepte, crude, ?i vai de cei care ar fi spus c? nu e al nostru. Împreun? am f?cut tot, apoi l-am desf?cut iar în buc??i.
~ Paula McLain
We called Paris the great good place then, and it was. We invented it after all. We made it with our longing and cigarettes and Rhum St. James; we made it with smoke and smart and savage conversation and we dared anyone to say it wasn't ours. Together we made everything and then we busted it apart again.
~ Paula McLain, The Paris Wife
She doesn't acknowledge Tucker, and there's no thank you for the cigarettes. She says a person shows their gratitude by action, not by words. So I guess that means she thanks me by smoking every cigarette in every pack.
~ Peter Hedges
