Légende

Advertisement for Ogden's 'Guinea-Gold' Cigarettes, 1898. Victorian railway carriage manners. Man: '"Would you object to my smoking a cigarette?" [Woman:] "Certainly not, providing they are OGDEN'S Guinea Gold".' Smoking on London Underground trains was banned in July 1984, almost a hundred years after this advertisement was published. But smokers often ignored the ban and lit cigarettes on the escalators on their way out. After the King's Cross fire in November 1987, which caused 31 fatalities, smoking on all London Underground property (including all its station platforms, whether underground or not) was banned five days later. (The fire had begun under a wooden escalator before spreading into the ticket hall.) A total ban on smoking on buses came into force on 14 February 1991. Smoking on board overground trains was not banned until 2005. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
