I finally stopped dreaming of smoking after two decades without cigarettes. I don't know much they cost these days but I hear they're expensive, I don't know people can afford it!

Reminds me of when Anderson Cooper asked Christopher Hitchens if he thought Jerry Falwell was in Heaven and he responded, "No, and it's a pity there isn't a Hell for him to go to."
