    I don't smoke, but when I came across this video, I was really glad I don't. It's by a lecturer in Stanford University, called Channing Robertson. He's a Chemical Engineer, and a long term opponent of Big Tobacco in America. This is his last lecture after 30 years at Stanford. It's long, but worth it. I have skipped past the intro bits:

    While on the subject of Marlboro, here is part of an interview with longtime Philip Morris boss, Joe Cullman:

    And this is a very good documentary on Marlboro from the 1970s. Actually it's a documentary on a documentary:

    All six parts can be seen on YouTube: "The Strange Case Of Death In The West".

    I'm a serial quitter, by the way, and smoke in "epochs"! :D Eight weeks off at present.
