Interviewer: Right. Now let's keep to you Mrs. Bradley. When and why—if that's not asking too much—did you begin to smoke? Can you remember?
Mrs. Bradley: Yes ... I remember very well. I'm thirty-two now ... so I must have been ... er ... yes ... seventeen ... when I had my first cigarette. It was at a party and—you know—at that age you want to do everything your friends do. So when my boyfriend—not my husband—when he offered me a cigarette I accepted it. I remember feeling awfully grown-up about it. Then I started smoking ... let's see now ... just two or three a day ... and I gradually increased.
Interviewer: I see. That's very clear. Now ... Might I ask if you have ever tried to give up smoking?
Mrs. Bradley: Yes—twice. The first time about six months before getting married. Oh that was because I was saving up and ... yes ... I used to smoke more in those days. Sometimes thirty a day. So I decided to give it up—but only succeeded I'm afraid in cutting it down. I still smoked a little ...
Interviewer: And the second time?
Mrs. Bradley: Oh the second time I did manage to give up completely for a while. I was expecting ... and the doctor advised me not to smoke at all. I went for about ... seven or eight months ... without a single cigarette.
Interviewer: Then you took it up again.
Mrs. Bradley: Yes ... a couple of weeks after the baby was born. It was all right then because the baby was being bottle fed anyway.
Interviewer: Good. That's interesting. So if you'd been breast-feeding you would have gone for longer without smoking?
Mrs. Bradley: Definitely. It's what the doctors advise. Though not all mothers do as their doctors say ...
Interviewer: Now Mrs. Bradley. When do you smoke most?
Mrs. Bradley: Erm ... When I'm sitting watching TV or ... or ... reading a book ... but especially I'm with ... when I'm in company. Yes ... that's it ... when I'm with friends. I never smoke when I'm doing the housework ... never ... There's always too much to do.
Interviewer: Do you ever smoke at meal times?
Mrs. Bradley: I always have ... one cigarette after a meal. Never on an empty stomach. Which reminds me—I must be going. My husband will be waiting for his lunch. And Keith ... he's my son.
Interviewer: Just one more question and that'll be all.
Mrs. Bradley: Well if you insist.
Interviewer: How would you describe the effect that smoking has on you?
Mrs. Bradley: What do you mean?
Interviewer: Well ... Does smoking—for example—make you excitable ... keep you awake ...?
Mrs. Bradley: Oh no—quite the contrary. As I told you before I smoke most at times when I'm most relaxed. Though quite honestly I ... don't really know whether I smoke because I'm relaxed or ... er ... you know ... in order to relax. Now I really must be ... Please excuse me. I see you're ... you're carrying a tape-recorder. This won't be on the radio, will it?
Interviewer: No Mrs. Bradley ... I'm afraid not. But we do thank you all the same.
Mrs. Bradley: Right. Goodbye.
Interviewer: Goodbye Mrs. Bradley. |
