When smoking in the workplace was the norm

[MyNameIsTerry]

One of my earlier jobs there was a smoking room. My first thought was how stupid to have all these comfy fluffy settees near fire.

Otherwise smoking was always an outside thing anywhere I worked. It was a fire hazard so smokers always had an area outside to indulge.

Only yesterday I spoke to a neighbour who lives on their own, (smoker, I might add), who was struggling to cope and was obviously struggling with depression.
Subject matter is delicate at the moment and for someone people a fag is all they have to keep going!

If my mother was alive today, she'd probably be chaining her Silk Cuts! This was the woman who told her surgeon where to 'stick his effing crutches' when he told her she'd be on them for 6 weeks! The old girl would have gone tonto under these lockdowns and restrictions.

I'm off to have a fag.

I'm an ex smoker so you'll get no judgement from me C.

I'd be sinking the single malts if my body would allow me to, but I'll have to make do with my Dairy Milk and woe betide anybody who tries to take it away from me.
