Non-smokers in this study were defined as having smoked less than 100 cigarettes in total during their lifetime.
The study aggregated data for all smokers and did not discriminate between light, moderate, and heavy smoking
or when an individual had begun smoking so the probabilities above will be fairly accurate for the “average” smoker only.
The average smoker smokes about 20 cigarettes a day and begins smoking between the ages of 15 and 18.

Australia's Nanny General is compelling all cigarettes to be in non-trademarked non-logo packaging highly touting health hazards.
Casinos everywhere take their customers as they find them.... with money to burn and wool over their eyes.
After the half naked women, free drinks, music and festive sounds get through ... selling them a pack of cigarettes for eight dollars is probably a coup d' grace.
