That's some dedication to his vice! Smoking, like most addictions is not easy to defeat... Although, smoking bans and price increases are helping to cut the number of smokers here in Ireland. Also, a lot of people are now using Vapes instead of smokes, but in my opinion the jury is very much still out on these vapes, and I wouldn't be counting on them being harmless... Just think back to the days when people first took up smoking, without realising the inherent dangers..
