I was recently at Sir Roger Moore's website and noticed a campaign he is a apart of to stem the use of cigarettes. He is on-board as an ex-smoker to try and prevent potential future nicotine addicts from taking up the habit.

Here's the info from his official site.

This leads me to a little Bond trivia question: which Bond film features Roger Moore with cigarettes?

I think he lights up in FYEO. I know for sure he has a cigar in LALD.

In The Spy Who Loved Me wasn't it? Something to do with the lighter from Berngarten.

In the movie Gold you see him several times holding and/or lighting up a ciggie, but not once does he actually put one to his mouth.

I don't care if someone smokes. I don't try to force anyone to stop snoking as long as they don't try and force me to in the process (ie: passively).

I don't mind smoking as long the person isn't blowing smoke in my face and as long as they don't mind me making smart-aleck jokes at their expense periodically.

Oops, slight carification needed here. I think once he does put one between his lips, but before he can light it he takes it out to speak. It just seems obvious as you watch the scene that he wasn't going to ever light it.

Was it in Moonraker? He used a cigarette case/X-ray machine to open Drax' safe and I think there were cigarettes in it.

Right you are, Atticus17f! Cigars from "Live And Let Die" and "The Man With The Golden Gun" aside, "Moonraker" is the only Bond film where Roger Moore's Bond is seen possessing cigarettes.

Light one up to celebrate!

Thanks for your visit Donovan. By the way, this anti-smoking campaign is still running in Crans-Montana.

Roger has given up cigarettes during his Persuaders! time. To avoid upsetting Tony Curtis who was hugely involved at that time in anti-smoking campaigns in the US, Roger was determined not to smoke wich was very difficult for a man who had been an habitual chain-smoker since his youth. A bit later Roger coughed and noticed there was blood.

His doctor has diagnosed a sinus infection, prescribing the necessary antibiotics to clear it up. Roger, however, was convinced that he had lung cancer. The shock of the incident convinced Roger that he should give up smoking completely. Only a month later, however, he was to begin smoking cigars, but, as he said at that time, it was just for puffing.

So, he was shown lighting up cigarettes in several movies but definitely didn't smoke. Or maybe on the sly

Oh yes! "You have a heart of gold."

Too many underage smokers...and the tricks they try to pull to buy them.

Interesting stuff, LT. Thanks.

Sure about that? Doesn't he take out his cigarettes on the boat in Egypt? He takes out his lighter to light XXX's cigarette (only to learn that it isn't for real), but does he take out his cigarette case as well?

[Genrewriter]

I don't recall seeing the actual smokes but the lighter is definitely there.

[Genrewriter]

Just an addendum, I actually think he's the only Bond to never actually smoke on screen. We see him holding cigarrettes and lighters but the closest we come to it is in LALD. He lights a cigar in the snake scene and tosses one away in the hang-gliding sequence.

[Scottlee]

Roger Moore is a great idol of mine for what he's done for the Bond series, but even he won't be able to stop me smoking. Sorry Roger.

Well he does smoke in that hang gliding scene though, if you were referring to that too.

[Genrewriter]

Well, yeah, it was obviously lit but since we only really see him take it out of his mouth I only count it as a partial.

[Qwerty]

Ah, quite complex about this.

Closest we may have gotten with Roger then.

[Johnboy007]

One of the reasons why I think his prtrayal of Simon Templar was more like James Bond, than the James Bond he played, he just smoked like a chimney on that show.
