I'm hooked - but I know it's not good for me. If governments raised the age at which you can buy tobacco by a year on an annual basis, smoking would disappear. I went to Hungary last year, where (I think) you have to be 18 to buy tobacco, and I was surprised at how few smokers there were, considering that cigarettes are very cheap and other Eastern/Central European countries smoke like we did in the West 30 years ago. It's only pressure from the big companies that keeps the age of consent down.
