I hope your fall report says a doctor turned her on to Zyban and
Nicorettes and she doesn't smoke
any more - anything!

Nicotine gun is a scourge itself. I know plenty of people hooked on
the gum.
My wife goes through about one of these every few months.

It took me about a year to get off the gum. I gradually started chewing
another. But I'm now
addicted to chewing something. The Orbit orange stuff was most like the
Nicorettes. And a hell of a
lot cheaper.

Still enough smokers out there. I bought $60k of Phillip Morris in about
2002. Paid 5.4% dividend then. Dividend is now about 4.5% depending on
the division. But the stock has tripled in value. Not a bad investment.
Oand if the government could stop smoking, the price would drop on the
stock.

Smoking is very popular overseas. I think that's where the cigarette guys are making the big bucks.
In Germany, Marlboro was king.
