It always surprises me how many of the HM's smoke on BB.
Most people I know these days don't, but the majority of HM's seem to be lighting up whenever they get the chance. Is it BB or my circle of friends and workmates who are the exception to the norm? |

I think a lot of people on BB smoke far more than they would outside just because it's something to do and to join in with others. It's also probably something to do with the type of person BB picks - this year had a lot of people smoking and the people in it were all young, mostly outgoing partying people who liked to drink, smoke and have a good time

It was a strange decision for him to give up smoking during the show. But you are right, he was the funniest HM without being forceful or playing up to the cameras.

I've seen or read (I can't remember which) an interview with Terry Christan who claimed that he and Ulrika shared a few sneaky joints in the toilet. (no cameras in the CBB toilets).

There was an interesting moral conflict on BB10 when Marcus (who didnt smoke) scarfed up a load of tobacco, intending to distribute it at his pleasure. It was pointed out that housemates who didn't drink simply didn't take any drink, rather than taking their share to barter for favours. Though I don't know whether any non-drinking housemate ever has done this.

They were allowed to smoke inside the house until the introduction of the new laws on smoking in the workplace......BB8?
But yes like you said it was technically up to the hm's until the smoking laws! |

I'm not sure there were that many proper smokers - I actually thought that most of them were casual smokers who would do it when drinking or every now and then at other times. Jay and Aden I think are the only ones who I thought were full on 20 a day kind people. It didn't seem like they were ever wanting for tobacco though, even on weeks where the budget was tiny
Also they must have had times when tobacco was low cos I'm pretty sure on a few FB vids Aaron was doing the lassic BB thing of collecting unsmoked tobaccos from the ashtrays! At least that's what I thought he was doing at the time. We just didn't get to see it this year! |

Fascinating thread.
The smoking ban in all indoor workplaces (which would have included BB house) came into effect 1st July 2007. Where does that tie in with BB series? |

It should have come into effect in BB7 if that was the year (2007) that the law into effect. Maybe BB were not informed that the house was classified as a 'workplace' until after the show had finished?

It was BB8 that the smoking indoors was banned from the start even though in law they could smoke inside until 1st July 2007.

Looks like I got my years wrong! You are right, the law came in during BB8.

Just a couple of my BB smoking memories
I remember Craig in BB1 hiding cigarettes as a prank from Darren and Anna (I think) That was towards the end of the summer I remember Dirk Benedict from the A Team deliberately smoking his cigars inside despite being asked not to by H from Steps. He was annoyed about something or other, cant remember what now I loved the arguments about cigarettes in CBB with Galloway, Barrymore, Burns etc Dont forget Maggot going to confront Dennis Rodman and Pete Burns about cigarettes as well. That was funny |

probably in the minority on here, but I was allergic to Marcus - allergic - acted like he was doing Noirin a favour by being perversely obsessed with here *shudders*; I remember this with the tobacco and think it was just another example of his misreading of many situations. He seemed to completely overestimate his status in the house. A bit like that tantrum in the diary room - I think he expected to leave the house to chants of 'power of the people' after that little strop..... he may have had a point about PC gone mad, but that little misogynistic diatribe negated the high moral ground completely.....
Also, I dont care what anyone says. I think what he said to Sree was out of order with the 13, 13's comment. It wasnt just the voice, it was the head movements, the hand movements and the venom he said it with. Having grown up in the 70's and 80's I recognise nastiness when I see it |

Did the unfortunate incident of Emily using a racist slur whilst having a conversation with Charley occur outside and having a cigarette.

I know plenty of outgoing people who like to drink and have a good time. I used to be one myself once!

There are occasions when non-smoking housemates have taken a consignment of cigs in with them, to use to their own advantage later, eg Maxwell from BB6.
