Caroline's right!. They use herbal cigarettes, and the actors use a technique where they don't actually inhale the smoke!. If the need to drink they used coloured water for spirits, or lager with no alcohol content!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
don't know but i am concerned when i watch programmes that they break every rule in the book!. Watch Emmerdale,Corrie and many of the people drink and drive, and often don't wear seat belts!. I know that they are just TV progs, but they are popular and should reflect to some degree real life!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
Probably write in the script that the person has a nasty fatal illness caused by smoking or drinking so that they can keep their good image! Unless, of course, they are tied up in a good juicy plot, then they will keep the illness for later!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
