“I remember it very  well,  During the  war  when  Cigarettes  were  hard  to  get and  the  Pasha, a sweet  smelling Cigarette was  available,  the  smell in  the  Regal and  other  Cinemas was  pretty  strong.  I would  arrive  home  from  sea  and  on  leave would  pull out  my  Duty Free  Capstan  and  Puff away, you could  hear all the  whispers  “‘Someone in  here is  smoking  Real  Cigarettes”"
