There was a song [My Last Cigarette] on the wireless circa 1961 I think sung by Miriam Karlin. I remember bits.... Tobacco, tobacco, I hate you I do. Like Venus I'd look if it wasn't for you; But I'll give up the habit; I will even yet When I've had just one more cigarette. I'll fling the packet away, away. Fifty times in a week I say Fling the packet away, away, When I've had just one more cigarette. Under my eyes are a couple of bags. I blame it all on to a packet of fags, But I'll give up...etc. There was much choking and painful coughing.
