Thanks, Moundshroud - it's great to get insights like that.
I was being a tad mischievous with the title - I posted something a long time ago about Hermann being slightly camp and fey and a lot of people leapt to his defence! (Not that there's anything wrong with it) -

About 42% of the adult U.S. population smoked in 1965, compared to about half that amount now.
And back then it was much more pervasive - smoking was almost everywhere: the home, the workplace, restaurants, teacher's lounges, even hospitals and airplanes. -

I wouldn't be surprised. The anti smoking nazis have gone so overboard that they go completely nuts if they see somebody with a cigarette. I quit smoking three years ago because it's become a rich man's sport and the feds steal almost as much on tobacco taxes as they do on gasoline taxes. The one thing I don't understand is that most of the anti smoking goons are rabid liberals who are always complaining if they see somebody smoking a cigarette within 200 yards of them, but at the same time they're the same ones screaming to legalize marijuana. Are they really too stupid to realize that when you smoke a joint it makes smoke too?

Well, I'll tell ya one thing. Even though I quit smoking a few years ago, I still miss having a cigarette after eating or after a cup of coffee. And you are soooooo right about these weasels who can't go through a day without claiming they're 'offended' about one thing or another.

I've never called a cigarette a fag, although I've heard it in British movies. But if using the word gets the politically correct liberals all out of whack I would definitely use it in a jocular fashion. LOL : )

Re
no, no, no. you're not using it correctly. you're not going far enough. If you want to REALLY get these pc liberals all out of whack, you have to use it like the British do and either say
"I'm going to light up a fag now" or "I'm going to light up some fags now".
depending on if you smoke only one or smokee more than one in a row.
Then these pc liberal wackos will all take it as "that racist said he's going to burn all the gays at the stake".
I've even seen posts now by these pc liberal wackos actually calling gays (homosexuals) a "race" now.

I don't smoke and never have, but earlier today, I was at an outside city park.
right next to the public sidewalk (not a part of the park)
and signs up "no smoking allowed", not even outside, here in the U.S
I knew they banned in inside public buildings in my state.
But I was suprised to find it banned outside also, as I never heard that reported on the news,
just the inside public buildings was reported on the news. -

I quit smoking a few years ago myself. But it enrages me to see the govt. getting involved telling people they can't smoke anywhere, even outside. This is just another example of big brother pushing his weight around. I guess next they'll be telling people they can't smoke in their own homes.

SPOILER
At least one other episode in which Herman is shown smoking is "Movie Star Munster." In that episode a couple of con men take Herman as a mark and recruit him to star in some movies they are supposedly doing, whereupon they are going to scam him. His newfound small time star status goes to his head and after the commercial break Herman comes down for breakfast dressed up as a big time movie star - for me this sight gag got a belly laugh. Anyway part of his costume is a cigarette in a long cigarette holder, and I believe he takes some drags from it, albeit in a comical fashion.
