Hummm I cant say that it was peer pressure that made me quit, I think it had just become too much of a pain in the ass.

Having to take a break every 15 min, having to have a pack or two of cig with me at all times, running out of cigs (....what a disaster !) haven't to organize at least two sources of fire, having people bum them off you constantly, having to organize my day round...when do I have my first one of the day cos I know it will make me light headed and useless for about 15 min.

As for Dr Drew...give me a break! If he is such a good doctor what is he doing hosting a radio show ! It suggests that unlike me, he is not at the for front of research !
(Did you see my new paper in Mol. Biol. Cell "in press" it is very cool !)

Here is something think about whilst debating the various forms of logical fallacy: People have had enough problems proving that smoking is bad for you (we all know it is however there is such a thing as the burden of proof). Tobacco companies have ridden this wave in and out of legal history for years. This would not be possible if some radio quack could suddenly conjure a reputable study that conclusively proved that two people had died from the effects of second hand smoke. It is a crock !
