Did you used to smoke?

At 9 yrs old I remember sneaking away to smoke from a stolen pack of non-filter cigarettes behind the back of the house. At 20, I smoked Marlboro 100 Lights in a box for 14 years total and quit - 14 times. Tried everything from behavior modification, smelling cigarette butts saved in a jar filled with water, and self-hypnosis. The only thing to work was cold turkey in my mid-thirties.

Major cigarette companies know they're addictive and can hook you for life and got away with it for decades. Reminds me of a line of Seven Corporate Dwarfs of Big Tobacco liars swearing that cigarettes are not addictive to cover their asses.
