Would anyone believe it was James Hunt if he wasn't smoking? Hopefully people will recall the movie Apollo 13, someone always had one burning in mission control (also a Ron Howard film). |

![]() The use of the epithet 'Stalinist' in the article is perhaps a tiny bit over the top, but don't these PC prats have better things to do ... |

All they had to do was end the movie with the hard drinking, hard smoking Hunt dying at the age of 45... that should balance the argument a little. |

I smoked for 50 of the last 66 years. Lots of cash burnt and a couple of relationships spoilt but I still play the tenor sax in a band and since I gave up smoking on May 31st I have never felt so sh*t! I also feel demonised by the PC brigade. Beware drinkers, anglers and anyone who runs a car over 998cc - the "Anti" brigade are after you.

To not see someone smoking in the 70's would be like doing a film in 40 years time that does not show people with Ipods or mobile phones!! The anti-smoking lobby would do better to show you the pensioners from that era that are housebound with oxygen masks because of their smoking, not deny it ever happened. |

It is OK for me. If for example guns were forbidden in the USA, western films should show gunmen with bananas instead of colts.

My mother-in-law smoked and died from lung disease. However you have to be so careful when you instantly blame tobacco! After her Post Mortem it was found she actually died from a lung disease caused by her working for Pirelli (making bedroom slippers!) over 30 years earlier. None of this is "black and white", there are lots of grey areas! |
