[As a non-smoker, how did you cope with all the smoking [in George Gently (2007)?] I do it because it makes it more authentic and just sets the period so well, as in those days everyone did smoke. It's hard to deal with, when you have to keep repeating a scene though, as you keep on having to light up yet another cigarette.
