That number sounds high to me, but at the same it would not surprise me. Walking outside around the gayborhood yesterday I could not escape the persistent stench of secondhand cigarette smoke wafting through the air. Despite the known health hazards, tons of warning ads and $10/pack for cigs, you'd think people would finally give it up. I know I must be getting old when it distresses me to see these pretty young kids carrying lit cigs around. I just feel like grabbing them by the shoulders and scolding them- "Not only is this **** gonna kill you; you're gonna look busted up and wore out by the time you're 30!"
