Sir Chris Whitty, writes @ReynoldsArthur, was the driving force behind the proposed ban on smoking in pub gardens, a policy supported only by the ludicrously nebulous, pseudoscientific concept that inhaling any smoke – no matter how small the amount – was ‘harmful’. spectator.com/article/chris-…

Cigarettes were a threat to both health and #communism, but despite the regime’s best efforts, they flourished in the #SovietUnion.

Cata Coll on the most challenging thing she faces as the goalkeeper for Barça Femení:
“The hardest part at Barça is staying focused when I'm barely involved … The gesture of smoking a cigarette also comes from my therapist. After a great save or a goal that I think I prevented, I do it. It helps me release the tension and move forward.”
🧤🔵🔴 Cata Coll sobre lo más complicado que vive siendo arquera del Barça Femení:
"Lo más difícil en el Barça es mantener la concentración cuando apenas participo. En esos momentos, me pasan mil cosas por la cabeza. Miro a la grada para ver si conozco a alguien, pienso en qué haré después o en lo que hice antes. Repaso mentalmente un error o una gran parada que me subió la moral.
Lo peor es un partido en el que no hago absolutamente nada: mi mente no para nunca. Para combatir esto, trabajo con mi psicóloga y hemos desarrollado algunas técnicas. No miro el reloj hasta que siento que han pasado quince minutos; de lo contrario, el tiempo parece detenerse y me pongo nerviosa. También canto para mí misma...
El gesto de fumar un cigarrillo también viene de mi terapeuta. Después de una gran parada o un gol que creo que evité, lo hago. Me ayuda a liberar la tensión y seguir adelante".

I can't recommend enough the two-part film about General de Gaulle.
The first is Résistance and the second is Liberté and you have to find them with a metal detector and a pair of field glasses because they only seem to show at around 2 p.m. at one of those armchair cinemas which insist you eat steak frites and drink Beaujolais while the advertisements pound away at your brain.
Believe me, it is worth it. There are subtitles, epic episodes, battles both physical and mental, detailed direction and French and English performers who are very, very good. Simon Russell Beale is more Churchillian than Churchill. He makes you believe everything you've ever read about the man.
Most importantly, he can properly smoke. In fact, most of the actors can.

If an anti-smoking campaign group says ‘Big tobacco companies are exaggerating the scale of Britain’s illegal cigarette market’ it must be true. 🙄

Germany to hike tobacco tax: by 2030 a pack of 20 cigarettes could cost close to €12 (around £10).
In 2026 an average pack of cigarettes in the UK costs between £15 and £19. No wonder illicit trade is flourishing. euronews.com/2026/10/16/germ…
