I don't know if it's Top Gear related, but it's pointing to that direction:

It's a British thing. They do two "series" a year.

That confused me, because a few seasons prior James was talking about how he sold a pack of cigarettes on eBay because "obviously I don't smoke". And then Jeremy's review of the Koeniggseg CCX was "based" on his decision to quit smoking. What's the deal?

Really? As much as I love Jeremy he doesn't strike me as someone with a lot of willpower, but I'm surprised that the other two haven't givin' it up.

Didn't Hammond say something in during the news segment in one of the season 10 episodes that he had quit? They were talking about doing things while driving.

In his book, he mentioned that after they were chased out of town by rednecks in the USA he started smoking again, I guess he stopped before season 10.
