"They smoke throughout with an overflowing ashtray."
"Royle Family, The" (1998) | Caroline Aherne, Sue Johnston
ep. #1.1, "Bills, Bills, Bills", Sep. 14, '98 "Aherne smokes five cigarettes in this single episode, and virtually all of
her inhales and exhales are on camera; she probably has no less than 20
inhales and exhales. The lighting could be better, and I wish she did a
snap inhale, or had some nose exhales or talk-exhales. But for the most
part, it's sheer quantity. Johnston also smokes at least two cigarettes and
she takes very long inhales."
"Royle Family, The" (1998) | Caroline Aherne, Sue Johnston
ep. #1.2, "Making Ends Meet", Sep. 21, '98 "Aherne has about 12 inhales and exhales with her typical style; Johnston
only smokes once in this episode"

Sue Johnston - Proof - quit - "She went through hell to quit smoking but now, thanks to her character ["Royle Family, The" (1998)], she's in danger of getting addicted again...'I'm an ex-smoker and it's like being an alcoholic - one whiff and I want more...I get through far too many cigarettes during filming. The cigarette's in my fingers and suddenly I've taken a drag. And I think, 'Oh yes! I miss this' ...Sue started smoking as a teenager and only stopped at 36 when she discovered she was pregnant...'But I would simply love to smoke again' ", The Mirror (UK), Dec. 16, '00
Sue Johnston - Proof - quit - "As TV's Barbara Royle [from "Royle Family, The" (1998)], Sue Johnston spends most of her time shrouded in a haze of smoke with a cigarette hanging from her lips. Barbara looks as if she was born with a B&H in her mouth, yet in real life, Sue is fervently anti-smoking. 'My father died of lung cancer caused by smoking,' she says solemnly. 'Nobody wants to die like that - it's terrible and as I'm a great believer in genetics, it would be really stupid of me to smoke.' She tried smoking herbal cigarettes for the show but her co-stars complained of the smell and, worse still, they made Sue feel sick. 'I swapped to those very low-tar cigarettes which is dangerous because I started to enjoy the odd puff. I have to be careful because I did smoke years ago. I gave up when I had my son Joel at 35 but I'm aware of the saying 'Once a smoker, always a smoker.''", Woman (UK), Apr. 23, '01
Sue Johnston - Proof - quit - "I used to smoke, but I gave up when I had Joel. I succumbed again ten years ago when I lost my friend and her son in very tragic circumstances. I reached for the cigarettes because otherwise I might have reached for the bottle and I didn't want that. It didn't last long. I couldn't smoke after seeing what happened to dad. On ["Royle Family, The" (1998)], I smoke herbal cigarettes because if I used real ones I might start to enjoy the odd puff. Herbal fags are awful, they stink and sometimes I can't even bring myself to light them", The Mirror (UK), Jun. 16, '01
Sue Johnston - Proof - quit - "Sue started smoking at the age of 16 but gave up in her mid-30s on discovering that she was pregnant. She had to smoke low tar cigarettes when shooting ["Royle Family, The" (1998)], although she's now fervently anti-smoking...Her pet hate is having to smoke when she's working", BBCi website
