  • "I Don't Smoke" is a song by English breakbeat/UK garage musician DJ Dee Kline. Originally released in 1999 on Rat Records, the song became a major underground club hit and was rereleased on 22 May 2000 as a single on EastWest the following year. It peaked at No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 2 on the UK Dance Singles Chart. The song features a sample of comedian Marcus Brigstocke, taken from the sketch show Barking. The sample in the song features Brigstocke repeating the lines, "Do you smoke Paul? No I don't. Me neither. I don't smoke cigarettes, I don't smoke cigars, I don't smoke a pipe, pipe, pipe, pipe, pipe...", followed by "I don't smoke the reefer" in a faux Rasta accent. He talked about it on The Graham Norton Show in 2010, where he explained that he was impersonating Jim Davidson's character Chalkie White for a sketch show, and that it was sampled into the track. Brigstocke said he was "delighted and mortified at the same time" when he heard the sample. "I Don't Smoke" also samples the guitar riff from the 1997 Skeewiff track "The Thin Line". A rework was released in 2014 in collaboration with Specimen A and Majestic MC, titled "Don't Smoke 2014". Capital Xtra included the song in their list of "The Best Old-School Garage Anthems of All Time". (en)
