Smoking is one of the leading causes of statistics.
—Fletcher Knebel
I have every sympathy with the American [smoker] who was so horrified by what he had read of the effects of smoking that he gave up reading.
—Henry G. Strauss
L. Frank Baum [author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz] had a weak heart and was not allowed to smoke, but he often held an unlit cigar in his mouth. Once, when standing on a lake shore, he was asked whether he ever actually lit the cigar. "I only light up when I go swimming," replied Baum.
