I burn a pack a day on average. If I'm under extreme stress and too much time on my hands, I've doubled that. Yah, it's a nasty habit, but I don't drink! You wanna save everyone? I've never smoked a pack of cigs and run over a toddler. I don't have to remind myself to smoke in moderation because I don't have a designated driver. Nobody smokes a carton and decides to beat their wife. Nicotine... the oraganic poison of choice!
