"I've learned to smoke with moderation: only one cigar at a time." (Mark Twain)
I smoked while in the service. Once - while working a hot SAR case - I was chain smoking... I didn't notice the section Chief (who did not smoke) calmly putting out my cigarettes...
He later told the story that I would light a smoke, take a drag - then put in the ashtray -get on the radio - then a minute later light another. Lather, rinse, repeat......
At one time I had 5 cigarettes lit at once..
Force of habit...
