You\u2019ll also notice she is joined in the montage of photos by the writer Terence Ratigan, also smoking. Cigarettes and smoking are not remotely connected to the story. Page 4 of The Times? Hmmm.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image\" title=\"Stop smoking Sienna!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/3bi-cocaine-addiction-help-iStock_000012584604.jpg\" alt=\"Sienna Miller smoking a cigarette\" width=\"350\" height=\"228\"><\/p>\n<p>I berated myself for my apparent paranoia and convinced myself that it is only because I am a quit smoking facilitator that it seemed so strange. I turned to The Times \u201cSummer of Speed \u2013 12 page guide to the world\u2019s leading races\u201d (again \u2013 this is Thursday\u2019s edition of The Times I am referring to).<\/p>\n<p>A retro shot of the Silk Cut cigarette brand\u2019s logo emblazoned on the Jaguar <span class=\"caps\">XJR<\/span>-LM on page 11 had me think again.<\/p>\n<p>Again I slapped my wrist for being so sensitive. Then I turn to page 2 &amp; 3 (yes I read my newspaper backwards \u2013 go figure) to be confronted by no less than 3 clear images of the <strong>Marlboro<\/strong> cigarettes logo, one <strong>Camel<\/strong> cigarettes logo, and a <strong>Gauloises<\/strong> cigarettes logo (the Gauloises one is not shown in this cutting) in more retro pics of F1 racing cars and a weird model of the Monaco circuit (the latter featuring an advertising board trackside for <strong>Marlboro<\/strong> cigarettes. God bless anyone trying to quit smoking while reading their daily newspaper!<\/p>\n<p>I briefly consider that maybe we should look into the cost of advertising our quit smoking books and quit smoking clinics on F1 cars \u2013 I\u2019d certainly enjoy the track days! Monaco here I come!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway I banished these examples of my pro-smoking images paranoia to the recycling bin deciding to conceal my apparent affliction. Then I read Friday\u2019s edition of The Times! The Arts section appears a few pages along from the kids part of the newspaper. This edition of The Arts section features a double page, color spread, as an advertising feature (a collaboration between the newspaper and Currys\/PC World stores), The feature presents the results of a photography competition.<\/p>\n<p>The Times in conjunction with the sponsors asked readers to \u201cmake us smile with your photographs and video from the [public] holiday on April 29th\u201d. This was the day of the Royal Wedding, a national holiday, which spawned an epidemic of colourful street parties, beanos, <span class=\"caps\">BBQ<\/span>s, picnics, and all round feel-good fun across the country. Even an anarchist and anti-monarchist friend of mine begrudgingly considered the day full of fabulous fun and frolics.<\/p>\n<p>The Times claimed \u201c\u2026the scale of the response [to the photography competition] had us open-mouthed\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Meaning no disrespect to the judges but I didn\u2019t think much of the first and second place photos. The third place photo caught my eye. The Times describes it thus \u201cTake Barry Humbling\u2019s image of \u2018Kate Middleton\u2019 taking a cigarette break in Soho, which won him third prize\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The photo was displayed on a right hand page, with the neon illuminated sign bearing the legend \u201cLovely Sexy Girls\u201d nattily catching ones eye! I don\u2019t really know what to say about this photo of (apparently) a sex worker wearing a Kate Middleton mask, smoking a cigarette outside her place of work. Perhaps we should be leafleting the area with details of our corporate quit smoking service? Quite how The Times fell into accommodating a smoking image into this \u201cfun\u201d competition I can\u2019t imagine. I can also imagine that Kate Middleton isn\u2019t exactly happy to be portrayed (albeit in a fake way) as a poster girl for the cigarette industry. Maybe I should mock up a photo of her holding a copy of one of our quit smoking books?<\/p>\n<p>The Times picture editor who chaired the judging panel for the competition writes \u201c\u2026a lovely satirical photograph; we had lots of pictures of people in Kate and William masks but somehow this one just has the edge\u201d. Ooooooooooooookay! I am not paranoid quit smoking facilitator. I am not paranoid quit smoking facilitator. I am not\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image\" title=\"Smoking ban\" src=\"http:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/15469580258251700248228720589607.jpg\"
