==Background==
In an interviewhttps://www.electricity-club.co.uk/princess-chelsea-interview/, Chelsea shared:
:I sort of knew when I wrote it, if any of my songs are going to get big, it’s probably this one that’s going to be successful, and it has put a lot of people onto my music. But in some ways, I think, I worry, because we’re in the generation now with the internet and YouTube. People have very short attention spans and I worry that people won’t make that further step to investigate the album and really understand what the album’s about. Which may be the case for a lot of people that have discovered that track. But then I think at least some of those people will discover that album, so that’s great. Generally I’m happy about it but it brings up some weird insecurities!
She also added:
:‘The Cigarette Duet’ is great but I wouldn’t say it’s indicative of necessarily the rest of the album at all. It’s almost like a wild card.
==Meaning==
The song is about a couple who fight over the health risks of smoking. The woman in the song is a (light) smoker, while the man is trying to encourage her to stop smoking. In the song, we learn the man was a previous smoker, but later quit. The lyrics are often compared to Nancy & Lee with its dialogue.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cigarette_DuetA friend named Jamie-Lee is mentioned in the song, who later wrote the song No Church on Sunday for Princess Chelsea's second studio album The Great Cybernetic Depression.
==Filming the music video==
The video was directed by Jonathan Bree and released on 7 June 2011.In an interviewhttps://www.electricity-club.co.uk/princess-chelsea-interview/, when asked about how many take it took to film the video, Chelsea responded:
:So many. It was at my parent’s house and we did a day of takes, so maybe about 20. And then I decided that I didn’t like my hair after watching it! I’m not usually that vain, but I guess I was having a diva moment that day. So we did another day of takes with the pink wig on. Yeah, I think maybe 50 takes or so? So the deadpan, bored expressions by the end are so honest!
