The first time i tried to give up smoking i went a month without a ciggie so to celebrate the achievement i bought a packet of cigarettes, that is how addiction messes with your mind. After giving up for 12 years, i went through a painful divorce and at the end of it i found i was smoking again, I dont know how it happened , i just realized i was smoking again. Smoked for another ten years and finally gave it up. But I am aware that if i go through any VERY stressful situation i have to be on my guard because once an addict always an addict, ask any recovering alcoholic or junkie.

Listening to this brilliant monologue, it all comes back to me. Back in those days, people smoked all over the place, all the damned time. It must have been hell for non-smokers, but they just didn't have a voice. Once I'd taken up smoking at 17, the idea of quitting cigarettes seemed almost like the idea of giving up eating. Dave brings it all back to life. What a truly great raconteur.

@laser325 It's still a LOT better than cigarette smoke. Here in Japan, you can still smoke in most bars. That means I virtually can't use bars here. I spent a couple of hours tonight with some friends in a bar where the owner said hardly any of his customers smoked. One guy used an electronic cigarette, apparently, but I didn't really notice: there was just a faint smell. If it had been a real cigarette I would have been seriously inconvenienced (I have COPD, due to many years of smoking myself, which ended 17 years ago, but the effects still linger).

He looked at me with a stare I will never forget and mentioned my smoking. He said, basically, we're not doing THAT anymore, are we? That was Sept 6 or 7, 2005, and we haven't had a cigarette since. And, surprisingly, I never missed it.

Stopping is a mental thing. Instead of thinking about how hard it is and finding excuses like “I’ll be bad tempered”... Stop. I had smoked for 30 years and one day I decided to stop. I went to the store and told myself that it would be the last packet. And it was. I spent about 3 months wishing for a smoke, but I persevered. Then the craving stopped. 15 years after I still put aside the money I would have spent on smokes. That is how I have bought my new gaming computer (and the last one) and the lawn mover among other things.

Will tell you something what may not work for you but how i did it. So please dont be mad at me. Me was a heavy smoker for years, 30-50 per day started with 14 stopped with 28 so i technically smoked half my life by that date. I did multible attemps before even with long smoke pauses. I started rolling due my financial situation, that step cut the ammount of cigs per day to ~3/4- 1/2 (+/-). Just the work to build one even if its quick done with practice... Then i switched to a "clean tobacco" with no additives in it for reasons i cant recall, i think it was the taste. You might know normal tobacco has stuff added in like brand accelerators etc. that may or may not react with the other 100`s components of the smoke and may or may not amplify the addiction. Unleaded tobacco, well, does not. Within 3 weeks i was down to like 10- 15 cigs. most if them ritualic ones. You may know it, like the cig to the morning coffee etc. One day i went out of tobacco and i was very tired all the day so i did not got my ass out of the chair to walk the 300m to the tabacconist and went straight to sleep. Next day it rained heavily - me usally giving crap about weather at all - did not raise may ass to go to tabacconists. Because water falling from the sky... I came to the conclusion that i was already a non smoker at that point and wanted to keep it that way. Physical addiction lasts only a few days you may know, getting the ritual away is the hard part. It was learned behavoiur i had to unlearn, like JUST drink a cup of coffee. JUST drink a beer with friends while they smoke was the hardest, if they offered me one i replied with "please no". This was all years ago i had a lot of stressful events that i usally had burded away with a cig - i did not, i took it like everyone else. Meanwhile i cant stand it when my neighbors smoke and the wind blows the smoke into my place... regards.

They showed us all a public information film in junior school in 1975 about the perils of smoking,around the time I was turning 11. It included cut open pictures of the inside of a baby's lung,all pink and pristine,an adult's non-smoker's lung with a bit of greying and stuff in it with all the stuff we breathe in over the years,especially in those smoggier,more industrial days than what we have now in the West,and lastly the lung of smoeone who'd been a heavy smoker,all full of horrible brown and balck tar and gunge. It also showed a smoking machine which would draw in the smoke for cigarettes and collect the smoke in a large clear glass jar. The black tar and grey and brown gunge was visible building up inside the jar. It worked on me,making me vow not to start smoking...for about 3 years until I gave in to peer pressure at secondary school and started doing it around my 14th birthday. I never let my mum know I was doing it because I thought it would upset her,but my sister who tried it once and never again after it made her feel sick (the same the first 1-2-3 times for me) caught a sniff of it and suspected I'd been doing it,and my dad told me off when I confessed to him about it. If caught at school they used to make us do chores like clean the chemistry lab or did up parts of the grounds outside - I once broke one of their gardening forks accidentally doing that. I was more of a social than a heavy smoker,I rarely ever got any much above 10 or so a day and I gave it up for 2 or years after getting puffed out too easily playing football one day in my late teens. I worked in a Department of Employment office in 1985-86 where people were puffing away to a heart's content. There was a girl about my age there who I socialised with there and bought a second hand Ford Cortina off once,who always had a big plastic ashtray with the legend Ricard on it sat prominently on her desk. In 1993-94 working at Christian Salvesen on the Wembley Stadium industrial estate there was a smoking room adjoining the works canteen that was so thick with smoke sometimes you had trouble seeing more than a few feet in front of you. I did finally give up,but not until the 90s,when I was 30. I did so for a few months,then took it up again for a few months after having a bad weekend. After the second time I packed it in,which wouldn't have happened had I not changed job to a different environment,I knew I was ready to quit for good. It was August and some of my friends,who wanted me to keep smoking,said I'd be back on them by Christmas. I knew they were wrong. I rcognise the exact same experience Dave Allen was referring to in that after a short while I had exactly the same experience of being able to smell all kind of things I hadn't been able to smell for many years,and it made me nostalgic because I associated those with times past when I was younger with few if any cares or responsibilities. I actually really liked the fresh smell you got off the roads straight after it rained. I worked out I've saved an absolute packet of course with the prices of the things going up and up - enough to fund a few holidays and who knows what else. But I've never been one to get all judgemental about other people who smoke,because having done it myself for 16 years I feel that would be hypocritical.

Comedy moves with the times, but, as a comedy lover and 'enthusiast' myself? Comedy must always be viewed 'retrospectively', that is? We cannot judge yesterdays' comedy by today's standards, and vice versa. And when I look at Allen, and what he was doing at the time he was doing it in? I see a very classy, self-aware, modest but very talented comedian, who used comedy as a medium to, not only exercise his own 'experiences' as a child, adolescent and adult within the strict paradigm of 'Catholicism' and Irish society, but to, at least attempt, to provide an avenue for his generation to also laugh at their respective experiences, and to say "it's okay...we're okay", and to, almost, ALLOW his generation to look back at how screwed up it wall was, and to laugh at it in the spirit of 'shared experience'. I imagine Allen's comedy brought much laughter and relief into the lives of those who lived through, and carry the baggage of, those times. ...a wonderful comedian! Truly wonderful! And sadly missed...

Unless I'm losing my memory I'm sure that that was not the full piece. The vital missing bit at the end is the most hilarious part. I don't want to ruin it for everyone by telling you what it was because maybe the whole video is out there somewhere.

Liked Dave Allen since I was a child, thing is, he would probably be non PC today.

+loosewheels1000 I don't think he was a rude man. He would be great today. Timeless comedy.

EVERYTHING is PC incorrect today. Mel Brooks, one of the funniest geniuses ever, recently said the ubitquitous PC police are the end of comedy.

SIMPLETRUTHS2012 I'd agree with him. Too many people out there are pretending to be offended for attention.

Tesla didn't invent AC, he described it Dave Allen didn't invent humor, he lived it. Thanks for the line of thought cheers

at my uncle's funeral, they said "He started to smoke at four years old: his father's workmates thought it was funny to give him their butts to finish." Silence in the room (it was cancer that got him)
