The whole 'smoking kills' ethos is missing. You've got absolutely no chance of getting lung cancer. You may as well smoke a banana.'</p> <p>Joe Simpson (58), who has been smoking a hundred cigarettes a day for fifty years, says he's sticking with 'proper ciggies'.</p> <p>'I've tried them e-fags,' he said, 'but you don't get the same experience - no coughing, no ash all over the place, no smell of smoke in your hair and underpants. And I'd miss blowing smoke rings all over my grandchildren.' </p>
