Another thing you need to take into consideration is the person's age. The younger people grew up during the anti-smoking health scare, so they aren't as likely to be smoking

Warning messages have been on cigarette packs since 1966.

Ugh, not to be nit picky but it drives me crazy when people use i.e. incorrectly. What you actually wanted to use here is e.g. Here is a link that discusses the differences and how to use them both correctly: http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/abbreviations/f/ievseg.ht...

Oh heavens... I know the difference, it was just an honest mistake. Simmer, bro! :)

+1 for sandwiching that sentence between "Oh heavens" and "Simmer, bro".

I smoked for 6 years; quit cold turkey on a whim earlier this year.

Edit: For those looking to quit, the first 3 weeks are pretty shitty, but after that not so bad. I still get the rare craving and occasional dream about smoking, but that's about it.

So far the only noticeable plus for me has been that I don't need to feel like a leper in public since for whatever reason most people are horribly offended by cigarettes these days. I was sort of hoping to develop super powers, though.
