I recall many years ago being at a similar Seminar with Engine Supers. The Deck Supers were a bit miffed they weren't invited or hadn't the wit to organise one of their own so they had a competition to come up with a collective noun for a group of Engine Supers. The usual words appeared, a flock, a herd, a crew, a troupe but the winner was;-

A nuisance of Engineer Superintendents.

Who said the Deck Department lacked a sense of humour.

Ah yes, smoking - I stopped some years since but I was the type of smoker who created a firestorm when I inhaled. Cigarettes, cigars, pipes…
I ceased for the usual reasons;
Health and wellbeing
The smell on my clothing which permeated the entire wardrobe.
The shunning and shouting when one lit up in the ‘wrong’ place.
Oh, and shoreside prices may have had a significant influence.
