I've been watching this mini series, quite enjoyable but one thing that struck me is that pretty much every character is a chain smoker. Every building must have stank to high heaven in those days. I know many people smoked in those days but it does look to me like they've overdone that aspect of it.

Fleming was a heavy smoker and drinker for most of his life and succumbed to heart disease in 1964 at the age of 56.
There was a lot of heavy smoking in those days especially in the services. It was actually encouraged because the customs, having seized cigarettes would pack them into tea chests and send them to forces overseas, where they were distributed for free. John Players used to sell round tins of fifty cigarettes for about three shillings and six pence, about 17.5 new pence. They were so cheap that if we were out drinking, in a pub for example, the tin would go round the entire room and probably come back empty. I don't think showing everybody smoking is over doing it, virtually everybody smoked back then, the non smoker was the unusual one, again especially in the services and it was allowed everywhere. Sometimes in a packed cinema it was hard to see the film, but of course they were very different times, it just seemed normal to smoke.
