I know this directly from growing up in the 50s/60s, my mother smoked, and when the findings about cancer links were confirmed in the 60s, she quit tobacco. Many others did the same over a period of time, as they became convinced about the health risks.

Rob, sounds like you and I are about the same age. My mother (and father, but he died from other causes) also smoked, but she was on the other side. Every time the price of cigarettes went up she would swear it was now too expensive to smoke, and she wouldn't buy any more once she had finished the carton that was already in the house. By then, of course, she wasn't thinking about the price anymore, only her addiction. She died of complications of emphysema. |
