  • A marketing canopy for e-Lite cigarettes occupies a pitch next to a memorial for Jewish Kinder Tansports. E-Lites are the latest generation of electronic smoking devices. The products, which were designed to combat the smoking ban, do not comply with Department of Health regulations because some brands contain toxic levels of nicotine. Now the government will have tests carried out on the e-cigarettes to assess their levels of toxicity. Large numbers of smokers have turned to the battery-powered cigarettes in the wake of the smoking ban which was imposed throughout the country.

  • A gentleman dressed in a pin-stripe suit favoured by older workers in England, exhales the smoke from a fat cigar during a lunch-hour in Trinity Square in the City of London. The man is overweight and leads an unhealthy lifestyle, his chin overlapping his striped shirt. The cigar is held at the tips of two fingers and we can see in profile the billowing of a smoky cloud  from the man's lips. Government statistics suggest that in 2001, 27% of adults aged 16 and over smoked cigarettes in England; 28% of men and 25% of women. 66% of smokers in England wanted to give up smoking but more than 120,000 deaths were caused by smoking in the UK in 1995; that is, one in five of all deaths.

Pints of bitter are on the table in front of them and ash trays with used butts. The scene is of an industrial town's pub for working men where language is sharp and there is talk of realities of hard lives.

  • A small group of men are together on the beach just opposite to Ocean Drive on Miami Beach. Two of them are in the foreground and each wear sun glasses, each holding cigars that may be Cuban in origin, a popular source of tobacco leaf in this region of America. They have recently been immersed in the sea and water drips down their rather flabby bodies with the gentleman on the left sucking on his cigar with a belly that expands around his tanned midriff. It is intensely bright, sunny day on the sand, seen behind. Flash has emphasized the water drips and the male sweat and we also see a very clear blue tropical sky.
