As the country stubs out its collective fag, a one-hour, tongue-in-cheek tribute to the perilous, but also, for some, the highly pleasurable pursuit of smoking. Well-known smokers talk about their first drag, ex-smokers about their last and a few defiant stars who continue to puff away muse on how the ban will effect their lives… or not.

The programme features contributions from Motorhead’s Lemmy, Johnny Vegas, Joan Bakewell, Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer, Charlotte Rampling, Michael Winner, Will Self and the late Bernard Manning
