Curious, these photos of so-called great smokers. Has it occurred to anyone that virtually all of the subjects are dead? For a better view of what smoking actually does to your lungs, go to the following:

SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: This thread may be hazardous to your health. Keep well away.
Some may recall from previous threads I am no partisan of smoking, but I must admit I enjoy this thread a lot and I would like to thank Marcelo and all contributors for it. It is very LL-ish ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Most characters may well be dead, but their are well remembered, aren't they?

I think what Mr. Jordan Marc wanted to remind us all of, was that even though these are glamorous photos (and they truly are), is that smoking is a ticket to wearing a bespoke suit for an eternity earlier then one would like.
I'm not a smoker myself, but I love the look of a double cuff and cuff link peaking out of the jacket underneath the cigar or cigarette occupied hand.
A few times myself while handing a toothpick after lunch, I find myself treating it like a cigarette. Not only that, but when handing chewing gum as well I've also found myself taking the piece out of the box and tapping it like a cigarette before opening the wrapper.
Smoking has played a huge part in our world over time, and no matter what the law makers try to do, the smoke will always fill the air.

I that we are all breaking the first rule of this thread - photos and captions only -but I have started another thread in Elegant Living called Clinging to the Wreckage. Nice post, though Cufflink.

Marcelo - none of these chaps reached a very ripe old age (Mark Twain at 75 was the oldest and F E Smith imploded at 58) - but, from their expressions - who would have dared to dash the tobacco from their lips?! here is a great smokers' movie moment from Now Voyager - Paul Henreid lighting two cigarettes - for Bette Davies and himself, near the end (sorry that it's not a good reproduction) and I still haven't got that great Tallulah picture - but I know where it is!

It's a fashion photo by John Rawlings, but it surely qualifies for the thread)))
