Smoking saints & sinners

I was quite pleased to notice that the Chief Executive of Lloyds TSB, who has earned high marks for keeping his bank well away from some of the recent follies, is a chain smoker. Simply because that shows we are not all just sad useless losers

No doubt alcohol, tobacco & so forth are things a saint must avoid, but …. Many people genuinely do not wish to be saints, & it is probable that some who achieve or aspire to sainthood have never felt much temptation to be human beings - George Orwell
