Agreed. Would still make sense even though it’s fallen out of favor these days. 1. Shows his military background as a good chunk of dudes in the military still smoke like chimneys. 2. Would show he still doesn’t imagine he’ll live long enough for smoking to ever catch up to him. Hedonism is a big part of his character and smoking falls right in line
The explanation Craig has for It makes sense though. It would be hard to believe a 60 cigarettes a day chainsmoker like bond doing all that running and fighting and jumping. It Is a shame though since the smoking Bond was so cool. In today's age smoking Is a habit relegated Just to villains or conflicted character, not anymore to Heroes.
@@thekingsean92 And yet he still drinks himself to death? I still think it should be a part of the character. The REAL reason they don't show him smoking anymore is because Bond is an archetypal "man's man" and that the producers don't want to have a bad reputation of promoting smoking, which is ridiculous, because Ian Fleming himself said that Bond shouldn't be a man that you would want to be like. That then raises the question on why he is still allowed to drink - and that's likely because alcohol has a mildly better reputation than smoking
Connery and Lazenby smoked cigarettes because it was the 60’s. Everyone did. Moore smoked cigars because he wanted to differentiate himself from Sean Connery. Also he preferred cigars over cigarettes and they looked tougher on screen. That’s also why he used a revolver in Live and Let Die. Dalton went back to smoking cigarettes because he wanted to remain true to the character and studied the Ian Fleming books in depth. Even reading them in his free time on set. It also helped that Lark cigarettes secretly paid both Dalton and the producers to smoke on screen as cigarette advertising was killed off.
Even back then , they have cigarette warning. Even though back then , many people smoked and cigarette advertisements were thriving on television, radio and billboards.
@@THE-WAY_THE-TRUTH_THE-LIFE. yes, smoking causes lung cancer and this is not very good for health. Cigarettes are also very expensive, and a smoking person wastes a lot of money on them. Those who smoke are also not that fast and endurable, as unsmoking person is P.S. smoking is horrible
@@ocharlie3286 I agree with you. I've been smoking cigarettes on and off for 7 years now, and even though it's really bad for your health I'm too addicted to them to be able to quit.
@@THE-WAY_THE-TRUTH_THE-LIFE. You can do it. I and many others did. The most important thing to remember is: Giving up one thing for everything (smell, taste, sexual health, white teeth, good skin, being able to calmly take a deep breath) VS giving up everything for one thing again. Once you have internalized and experienced this truth (make sure to take full advantage of all those pros), you will never want to go back.
What's "cool" is entirely subjective, while the devestating effects of smoking on the individual, the people surrounding it and lastly on the environment are not.
It was the norm in the 60s and 70s for people to smoke. Moore gave up cigarettes and refused to smoke them as Bond after a stern lecture he received from Tony Curtis before filming The Persuaders.. Curtis was anti- tobacco but not marijuana lol. Moore was fine with cigars and smoked them personally and as 007. Dalton smoked and his gift from Felix and Della came in quite useful at the end of LTK. Brosnan was in Cuba for his final film and how could Bond not? Daniel Craig in return for having to be buff (though had been a rugby player when he was younger and kept in shape quite often), had an agreement not to smoke in character. It appeared he had given up but there has been photos of him smoking in his personal life.
Well actually the doctor was supposed to carry a smith and wesson REVOLVER. But they had problems in the prop department because of the silencer so they just gave him a Colt 1911 Semi Automatic Pistol but didnt change the script. The funny part is, that the Colt 1911 hold 7 rounds and is not produced by Smith and Wesson
Bond and cigarettes are like Bond and hats - Connery could be cool in a trilby because hats were cool then. On the other hand, Craig would look silly and anachronistic in one. In the 60s smoking was associated with sex and sophistication, so of course Bond smoked. It no longer has that association. Most young people think of something unhealthy and stinky, and more associated with the poor than the wealthy. It’s anything but sexy or sophisticated. Smoking simply doesn’t read the same way as it once did. So it would not work, stylistically, for the contemporary Bond at all.
Also worth noting that in the books Bond smoked 80 a day, which was frowned upon and excessive even then - Bond smoked in the books not to appear cool but to show that he had a vice: much like how over-drinking is used in the modern bond films
@@funni150 I think most people who claim that "everybody" smoked in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s or even 70s must have been fairly recently. Many people didn't smoke. There never was a 95% smoking rate. During WWII, German soldiers were entitled to 7 cigarettes a day, everything more had to be bought on commissary. It turned out that while there soldiers who smoked more than 30 a day, but those amounted to less than 10% of all. Also, people knew it was harmful -- very harmful. The nickname "coffin nail" dates back to the late 19th century. Research on smoking and lung cancer can be traced back to the 1920s. In the 1930s, Nazi German scientists found out that if you put cigarette smoke tar on rabbit ears (live) cancer cells start to form. At the same time, the Denicotea company came out with their filtering systems. In America, Reader's Digest extensively published articles about the harms of smoking in the 1950s, denounced most cigarette filters as ineffective and the Surgeon General's first report came out in 1964. I acknowledge that tobacco companies did a lot of shrewd advertising to persuade people NOT to quit smoking, like the Surgeon General wants you but rather to switch to one of their new low-tar brands. But it was still the individual's choice to quite or not to quit. I think the main difference between "Back then" and today is that there used to be a time when adults were considered adults when it came to their health. Only dyed in the wool health nuts would dare telling random strangers to quit smoking.
Well in the novels, Bond smokes brand called Morland, which was an unfiltered cigarette whit three golden lines on it. In the Usa he smokes Chesterfields and in Turkey he smokes brand called Diplomate or something like that. You can still buy Chesterfields in most european countries, it became a low budget brand but in my opinion they are the best among the cheper cigarettes.
@@roberthrsan1439 Morland of Grosvenor Street was a real business, by the way -- Ian Fleming got his cigarettes from there, too, and had them fitted with three golden bands, representing his naval rank as a commander. Balkan blend with increased nicotine content. That Turkish brand was, indeed, called Diplomate, and Bond liked them. They were oval, as were the Turkish-blend cigarettes my grandfather smoked.
@@roberthrsan1439 I can second that - after reading the novels I just had to try them. I'm only an occasional smoker (I don't fancy the negative consequences of making it a habit) but Chesterfields are absolutely great, and some of the cheaper cigarettes out there too - still widely available in England
Well bond is NOT a gentleman, He never was to begin with. In the movies, that’s just the actors putting their own personality in it. In the novels, he’s not a gentleman. Heck he’s not EVEN a good guy. He’s a human being with flaws.

Its worse that Bond doesn't smoke anymore than changing races or whatever, it was a big part of the character that proved he was only human.
He smokes in the most inhumanly way possible, like a cig corpo posterboy

Rest in peace, sir Sean Connery
Insanity that Bond doesn't smoke anymore because in real life Daniel Craig is a heavy smoker
How do you Know

3:18 - Moore made the character look so badass smoking a cigar!
"I'll have a vodka Martini. Shaken...not stirred. Oh, and ten Benson, ta."
its a shame craig doesn't smoke, but he does drink alot which makes up for it
Which is ironic because Craig smokes in real life
He used to
@@wwb16 He still does.
Sean Connery, absolute legend!
You Never See James Bond Smoking Any more! Be It Cigarettes Or Cigars!🕴🚬🚗🚘🇬🇧
Connery was in his early 30s in that first scene. He looks superb but probably 15 years older than he actually was
0:08 Nice lighter!!🙂☝️👌👏
It is called zippo lighter
looks like a dunhill broadboy or wideboy
Boris Cheshlarov - Dunhill Rollagas.
I’d love to see the next Bond back on the gaspers as Fleming intended.
RIP Legend
Bizarre than Connery, Lazenby and Dalton smoked cigarettes but never cigars, while Moore and Brosnan smoked cigars but never cigarettes.
fromchomleystreet - Moore and Brosnan.

We are interested in the bulk buying for fermentation chemicals. The king of flavour, MSG!

I this Brosnan got his inspiration from Moore. He was offered and took a cigar in TWINE but never got a chance to smoke it.
I have a Smith and Wesson. It's a newer model that holds 7 rounds. I wonder if they changed it because of that scene from Dr. No, lol.

Who is chain smoking after this?
soulseeker you?
More like while

I'm smoking drinking bourbon
James Bond has lost his license to smoke. Soon, he will lose license to kill.
I got a James Bond ad before the Video started...Coincidence?
