John, My Dad dies of emphizema, but he chained smoke all the years I knew him. I have quit several times, but something happens that puts me back on them. The last time was for 4 years, but a car accident caused me to start again. One difference though, is that I vowed to never smoke more than six cigarettes in one 24 hour period, and for a 18 months have kept it down to that, or less.

Not sure but I think this guy might be even more addicted than your uncle: Man Leaps From Car to Retrieve Cigarette The Associated Press Monday, May 23, 2005; 4:15 PM FOREMAN, Ark. -- A man was injured when he jumped from a car traveling 55-60 mph in an effort to retrieve a cigarette blown out of a passenger-side window. Jeff Foran, 38, suffered trauma to his nose, eyes and chin after leaping from the car Saturday night and landing on the eastbound lane Arkanas 234 near the Oklahoma border, state police Trooper Jamie Gravier said. The driver of the car, Jerry Glenn Nelson, 44, of Haworth, Okla., said Foran had asked him earlier in the evening to be a designated driver after a night of drinking. "Foran did the right thing and asked his buddy to drive him home. Foran showed up at Nelson's home about 45 minutes earlier saying he (Foran) was too intoxicated to drive home, Gravier said. "Nelson said Foran was smoking a cigarette when it blew out the window and Foran jumped out the window to retrieve the cigarette. Nelson said he was driving between 55 and 60 mph when Foran jumped out," the trooper said. "It was obvious he was extremely intoxicated and this man was hurt," Gravier said. "If anything could make him stop smoking, this should be it. The man is lucky to be alive. washingtonpost.com
