19th August 2009 		I am just glad I quit when I did. You breath better, run longer, and live longer when you don't smoke.

6th June 2005 		In response to Ioanna, Greece is first in cigarette consumption, with 4,313 being the approximate average number of cigarettes smoked per adult per year. That works out to about 12 cigarettes per person per day. Japan is fourth at 3,023 cigarettes smoked per person per year. That equals a little over eight cigarettes per day for every Japanese adult.
