The problem is, adults start smoking as adolescents or younger. Is there anything more conformist than an adolescent?

Tobacco has a bad name lately, but it's amazing to think what an important role it has played in making the US what it is. In fact, I believe while it was the tea tax that set the powders off, it was really tobacco that the colonists were pissed about - Jefferson, et al all had plantations. The tobacco industry was probably the first to use sophisticated marketing and product engineering, it's made the US a real fortune over time.
