Unbelievable!

There are some pictures of FDR without his cigarette holder, but very few of Churchill without a cigar in his mouth or hand. The cigars that Churchill smoked were Julietas (now commonly referred to as Churchills), they typically take between 60 and 90 minutes to smoke and he smoked between 15 and 20 each day, so unless he was eating or bathing he ALWAYS had one lit.

The only thing more absurd would be showing Bogart without a cigarette.

What gets me about this is I teach history to teenage boys.

If a boy ever asked me about Churchill smoking, I’d simply point out that this was in an era when the dangers of smoking weren’t very well understood and when most men smoked.

There’s no reason to take this out.
