12 Problems You'll Only Understand If You're A Smoker

11. Watching Literally Any Film From The 40s/50s/60s/70s/80s And Wanting A Cigarette So Bad

Disney have gone as far as announcing recently that smoking will be banned in all of its PG 13-rated future productions, including Marvel, LucasFilm and Pixar films. The ban won't apply, however, to historical figures for whom smoking was prevalent, but newer characters just won't do it. Which makes a Howard The Duck movie inevitably difficult. But that doesn't stop you getting pangs. Watching any pre-millennium-made motion picture with smoking in it now just makes you want to light up immediately. Those actors make it look so cool: Clint Eastwood in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Rita Hayworth in Gilda. John Travolta in Grease. And who could miss Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Why do they make smoking so iconic? Smoking certainly doesn't hold the same glamorous appeal like it used to.

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
