== Real cigarettes ==

> For the first two episodes he appeared in, he smoked "real" cigarettes, but later changed to herbal cigarettes

What are "real" cigarettes? Are they real, or not? What are quotation marks supposed to imply here?  <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/89.65.218.105|89.65.218.105]] ([[User talk:89.65.218.105|talk]]) 01:41, 18 January 2016 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:I would say those containing tobacco and thus nicotine, as opposed to herbal cigarettes, which do not include the before mentioned. The burning process however still produces tar and possibly other substances, which are inhaled and which thus represent a considerable health risk. [[User:Lmaxmai|lmaxmai]] ([[User talk:Lmaxmai|talk]]) 18:59, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

: By the way, in the interview with "The Scifi World", Mr. Davis states that smoking "real" cigarettes is dangerous to him, not dangerous "to his health", as this article states. While this of course goes without saying, he might have referred to the danger of becoming addicted again. [[User:Lmaxmai|lmaxmai]] ([[User talk:Lmaxmai|talk]]) 19:10, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

==Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man==
Aren't the producers on record as saying that this episode is not necessarily the real history of CGB Spender? A quote from Frank Spotnitz on the article for the episode says:

:Story editor Frank Spotnitz said "In the closing scene Frohike tells Mulder and Scully that the whole story was something he read in a crummy magazine. A lot of people didn't pick up on that subtlety. They thought that this was indeed the factual history of the CSM. As far as I'm concerned, it's not. Some of it may indeed be true, and some of it may - well, never mind."

I know that this article later states that the veracity of the episode is not confirmed, but sentences that state "Much of his background is revealed in the fourth season episode "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man,"", would probably read better with "purportedly" inserted so I have done so [[Special:Contributions/91.188.53.90|91.188.53.90]] ([[User talk:91.188.53.90|talk]]) 16:55, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

==Spoiler: CSM is Mulder's Father. Not in article?==
This article does not state that the Cigarette Smoking Man is Mulder's father. I think that it should. Specifically, I think that "Fox Mulder (Estranged Son)" should be listed along with Jeffery Spender in the "Family" section.

It was confirmed in 9x16 that CSM's father. Jeffery Spender states it, as does Scully, and it's confirmed by DNA evidence.

I know it's a spoiler, but Wiki's policy is to include all info, even spoilers: [[Wikipedia:Spoiler_warning]]. This is an important piece of information about CSM, his family, and his motivations. It should be included in the article.

I will ask around for other opinions, but if no-one objects, I will add it later this month (May, 2010).

:[[WP:SPOILERS]]. Don't research the plot of something you're not done watching, it'll only ever lead to disappointment. On the bright side, it's actually not that big of a deal within the series.

Surely C.G.B. Spender is just an alias? [[User:Lee M|Lee M]] 10:29, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, his real name is Crow Gibson Bill Spender.  It was mentioned in an interview over the discussion of real-time alien technology and was possible that this is a fan-fiction name.  Anyway, this ''does'' seem to be a plausible name, consideing that his name does correspond to the little more than conincidental connection between him and Bill Mulder.  Other than that, this is all pure speculation into an alias of the CSM guy that happens to be the key in this magnificient series. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/12.220.244.143|12.220.244.143]] ([[User talk:12.220.244.143#top|talk]]) 02:04, 13 August 2005 (UTC)</small>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: C.G.B. Spender is the closest thing to his real name - of course it's not a full name since CGB can hardly count as full. However, nothing more full than C.G.B. Spender was ever seen in canon - whatever else there might have been is purely fanfiction. [[User:Solver|Solver]] 19:57, 14 August 2005 (UTC)


Agreed. [[User:Mr.Fouchon|Mr.Fouchon]] 20:16, 21 August 2005 (UTC)


== New quotes section ==

I have taken the liberty of setting up a new CSM quotes section in the article. Please feel free to improve it and contribute to it. I trust that its place is here and not in a Wikiquote article. If anyone disagrees, please advise. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:CommandoGuard~enwiki|CommandoGuard~enwiki]] ([[User talk:CommandoGuard~enwiki#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CommandoGuard~enwiki|contribs]]) 07:10, 1 August 2005 (UTC)</small>
:The quotes section is now quite large. i think they should be moved to wikiquote, like the mulder article. [[User:Cthulhu spawn|Cthulhu spawn]] 20:02, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

==Canon==

This part seems like speculation at best, there is nothing to indicate that "musings.." wasnt canon.  If no one complains I will remove it. - "This episode presents a relatively sympathetic, sad portrait of the character, although it is arguable if the info presented is canon."

The episode also contains a deliberate contradiction to a previous episode. In a flashback depicted in Apocrypha, CSM is shown to have already been working for the government, along with Bill Mulder, as early as 1953.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/65.185.21.9|65.185.21.9]] ([[User talk:65.185.21.9|talk]]) 15:47, 16 October 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Name of Article==
I just watched several episodes of "The X-Files"; at no point do they refer to him as the "Cigarette Smoking Man."  They just call him "the Smoking Man" or refer to his "Spender" alias.  [[User:Minaker|Minaker]] ([[User talk:Minaker|talk]]) 07:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
: While it's true that he wasn't referred to onscreen as the "Cigarette Smoking Man" until the sixth season (by Scully in "Two Fathers"), long after being referred to as Cancer Man, Smoking Man, Cigarette Man, and Old Smokey, he was referred to by that name (or the CSM acronym) in scripts and by the cast and crew beginning with the pilot. "Cancer Man" was invented by the fans, spread amongst message boards and then picked up by the show, to be used occassionally. "Smoking Man," "Smokey," and "Old Smokey" were all shortened or jocular variations of the CSM moniker. "C.G.B. Spender" was derived as a way to state to the characters that he was the already established Jeffrey Spender's father. It was specifically stated that it might be "one of hundreds" of aliases (although, outside Musings, we haven't seen any other ones).--[[User:Tim Thomason|Tim Thomason]] 21:02, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
::His name is C.G.B. Spender it says so in the episodes. The article name really should be changed to C.G.B. Spender. [[Special:Contributions/193.195.195.56|193.195.195.56]] ([[User talk:193.195.195.56|talk]]) 15:37, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
:Musings aside, in the first season (at least) he is referred to as '''Smoking Man''' in the credits. As I do not have any later seasons I can't confirm his later credit listings, but I think the credits would constitute somewhat of an authoritative source (granted, this is technically original research... *shrug*). -- [[User:Mpdimitroff|Mpdimitroff]] ([[User talk:Mpdimitroff|talk]]) 07:32, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:: Was "Cancer Man" really invented by fans?  Mulder uses it at approximately 22:17 of the episode ''One Breath'' (Season 2, Episode 8). [[Special:Contributions/150.203.110.172|150.203.110.172]] ([[User talk:150.203.110.172|talk]]) 11:33, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
:::Given how attuned the writers were to the fan community, it wouldn't surprise me if they added a 'canon' use of a fan-coined term like that.

Mass (though not even internally consistent) use of "aesthetic" quotemarks on this page -- which I can't edit, due to semi-protection.

::Thanks for the information, and the edit!  I'd offer the small modification that lengthy/complete quotes from a particular sources, such as "If people were to know of the things that ''I'' know...it would all fall apart." should retain the punctuation inside the quotes (I think there was one such), but your edits to the various episode titles were all correct, I believe.

== Disambiguation? ==

While there are, obviously, many men who smoke in fiction, the other person likely to be referred to as "the Cigarette-Smoking Man" (since his name is not revealed and that is his most obvious distinguishing feature) is the one in ''[[The Penultimate Peril]]''. [[Special:Contributions/2.25.130.29|2.25.130.29]] ([[User talk:2.25.130.29|talk]]) 22:18, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
:Is he referred to simply as "The Smoking Man" in those books? If so then this could become a disambiguation if an article was ever created for that character, though I'd argue that this article covers a far more recognised figure and would say a simple hatnote ("For the character from ''[[The Penultimate Peril]]'', see ...").

I know this is an old topic, but since I've been rewatching ''The X-Files'' lately, including watching beind-the-scenes featurettes, interview, commentaries, etc. it's hard to wonder why this article isn't titled ''Cigarette-Smoking Man''. I would say, from everything I've watched, he's refereed to as that or "CSM" 99% of the time by cast and crew, and is identified as "Cigarette-Smoking Man" in various sources including a profile of his character from the DVDs ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VNUq7Xd86c]). The press release for an upcoming episode of the revival bills him as "Cigarette Smoking Man" ([http://www.thefutoncritic.com/listings/20160201fox05/]). When comparing Google searches of the exact phrase, its 85,600 for "The Smoking Man" and 210,000 for "Cigarette-Smoking Man". He's listed as "Cigarette-Smoking Man" in a recap for "The End" from an archived version of the official website ([http://web.archive.org/web/20020216201304/http://www.xfiles.com/episodes/season5/5x20.html]). While both "The Smoking Man" and "Cigarette-Smoking Man" are the most common and "official" names, I believe CSM is much more appropriate and per [[WP:COMMONNAME]], makes more sense. Thoughts?

::"Cancer Man" is ''definitely'' not the more common name than "Cigarette-Smoking Man" for this character. More examples I've come across recently, the back cover of one of the season Blu-rays refers to him as Cigarette-Smoking Man, he's billed with that name in the end credits of the ''The X-Files'' film, he's listed with that name on [http://www.williambdavis.com/the-x-files William B.

*It appears there's lots of support for this change, now the silly debate of whether we hyphenate it or not.
