In the context of other shows and movies, I've read that there were herbal cigarettes available for non-smoking actors. I wonder how harmful the particles in that smoke was, even if it wasn't inhaled.
John Comer (Sid) was a heavy smoker and died of throat cancer. Tony Melody dubbed his lines in "Getting Sam Home".
Gordon Wharmby (Wesley Pegden) was also a heavy smoker, who died of lung cancer. His part was written out shortly before the start of filming for the 24th season because his voice...

So is about 25% of mine, although it’s Northern Ireland, so that might not count. My BA is in history, but I didn’t develop any interest in the subject until later in life. Now it’s become a voracious interest in the ancient and modern history of the British Isles.
When I replace my current desktop computer, it will still have a full-size ergonomic keyboard, but this time it’ll be wireless, and a wide screen for displaying two versions of the photo I’m currently editing. I also do my family’s genealogy and related local histories. That leads to travel...
