Smoking on screen and on the field: Athletes and celebs who smoke

Thanks so much Dr. Kaufman for your post.  It really is something how we are drawn to mimic celebrity behavior.  How they dress and look and act - I guess even smoke.

As a former smoker I can remember (when I was much younger) trying to feel and be something else - older, prettier, more adventurous.  Where I got these desires came from the images I saw in magazines and on tv.  But I learned they are not real.
