I need to take a break from crazy, alcoholic, chain-smoking, sex-addicted ladies and try to concentrate on my boys and my family for a few months.

Natasha Richardson

What isn't on the list, and this is very important in terms of politics (and) community service, is poverty among kids, health care among kids, day care among kids, smoking, alcohol.

Robert Blendon

It's certainly one less venue where children will be exposed to the enticements of smoking. We hope it will set a standard that other companies will follow.

Bill Corr

Right now I don't like smoking. Every morning I go to P.T. and it's thrown a light on to it. It's probably the worst thing I've done for myself. I'm a firefighter too.

Jonathan Hoekzema

The two leading preventable causes of mortality are cigarette smoking and abdominal obesity and we hit both.

Douglas Greene

We have a culture in Knoxville where there is a huge problem of kids smoking pot. I mean, it's rapid here in Knox County.

Anne Young

Our hypothesis is that smokers who receive counseling will be more likely to quit smoking. We are hoping for a 25 percent to 30 percent success rate, which appears to be low but would be a significant improvement over the current rate.

Dr. Lori Bastian

All across the country, cigarette taxes have gone up, and I think that's led to a reduction in smoking. It's a little unclear whether that's caused people to trade down from premium cigarettes or just smoke less.

Patrick Carroll

We get Rutgers students at our shows all the time. The Cabin is always a blast to play. It's a way to enjoy a hobby I love, and the band is really smoking. It's great to just see everybody get out there and dance.

Ben Sopranzetti

If you are able to successfully reduce your tobacco use you will, in all likelihood, reduce lung cancer risk. But people find it very difficult to reduce their smoking and stay reduced and, secondly, while risk is reduced, it still remains very high.

Thomas Glynn

Cigarette smoking is the biggest risk factor for COPD in the United States.

Fernando Martinez

But we hope our findings of an association will lead to further examination of this important issue. Perhaps it will help give smokers one more reason to quit, and encourage quitting smoking among those who are also trying to control their drinking.

Jennifer Glass

I saw the car. It was smoking. He said, 'Get me out of here.' I couldn't get the door open, so I pulled him out of the window.

Jeff Berry

The vaccine works by producing antibodies that specifically bind to nicotine, and thereby prevent much of the nicotine from entering the brain. This process potentially reduces the pleasurable effects from smoking and reduces the addiction to nicotine.

Dorothy K. Hatsukami

What this study does in a detailed way, with the advantage of outstanding long-term follow-up and health records, is clearly demonstrate the impact of smoking on the duration of life.

Len Lichtenfeld

If someone had a heart attack two years ago, they are still smoking 50 cigarettes a day and their blood pressure is up, they will not get cover. But if they had treatment and then improved their condition they probably would.

Mike Owen

The computer should be the smoking gun. But there are a lot of ways to hide information on a computer, and you need a well-trained person to unlock it.

Robert Morgester

There are a lot of guys who dip and when you see someone dipping on a baseball field, you just don't think anything of it. But (smoking) is the same thing.

Brian Moehler

Most of the people Italked to would love to get rid of smoking.

David Jensen

That might just be the little extra impetus they need to seek help and quit smoking.

Lena Dibble

We know how difficult it is and we don't blame the smoker, but we do want to have messages out there that are motivational and get people sort of going on the track of try and try again until they succeed (in quitting smoking).

Cheryl Healton

Far more people quit in the highest dose. It looks like vaccines do have promise in terms of helping people quit smoking.

Dorothy K. Hatsukami

They shut off the unit, and they're looking at it today. Maintenance is going over there to inspect it and find out why it was smoking.

Mike Adkins

I am a smoker. I work for the DHHR, and I think that there are more pressing issues to deal with. Why don't you stop diabetics from going to the (dessert) bars in restaurants or obese people from loading up their trays or Applebee's from serving someone 15 drinks? I've never known someone to kill someone from smoking too much.

Deborah Roberts

I think he'll be smoking out what the first steps of a denuclearization process could be.

Selig Harrison

She probably thought that she was not doing drugs and not doing anything wrong since she wasn't smoking or drinking. Even though you are not smoking or drinking or doing drugs, this game could be very harmful to you, if not kill you.

Mark Cernekee

We believe this is the first Fast Track Designation for a smoking cessation product candidate, which is unprecedented, and provides further validation for our unique approach to addressing nicotine addiction.

Henrik Rasmussen

It does indicate that we need to rethink New Zealand's anti-smoking campaign.

Tony Ryall

Minnesota is ahead of most states in innovative, healthy things like smoking bans, but there are no regulations that make people test for radon or for builders to build radon resistant homes.

Cecil Keen

This initiative will save lives, by raising the tobacco tax and funding urgently needed community emergency and related health care services. This is the broadest coalition that's ever come together to reduce smoking, the number one cause of death in California.

Paul Knepprath

Maybe this is a transitional period with no impact. Maybe these young people get married, cut back drinking, quit smoking and their diet improves. I can't wait to find out.

Dr. Kathleen Mullan Harris

People under stress often drink more than they otherwise would. It's the same thing for smoking -- people may smoke more, thinking it curbs stress, but it doesn't.

Cecil Wilson

We stayed 30 minutes in the corridor, ... We were then put in two small rooms with stewards smoking cigarettes next to us and (radio station) NRJ conducting interviews 10 meters away. It's not an excuse (for the defeat), but it's very annoying.

Laurent Fournier

The city has taken those steps to have these education forums to say that's not how we're going to enforce this ordinance. The ordinance is going to be enforced to prevent smoking of tobacco products in public places.

Anne Morgan

There is no smoking, eating or drinking. But we do have restrooms.

Dee Roberts

I've never known anyone to tamper with their smoke detectors, I knew one guy who tried smoking out the window, but he set the alarm off anyway.

Will Davis

Fighting America's oil addiction with these standards is like fighting lung cancer by smoking 49 cigarettes a day instead of 50.

Don Mackenzie

The biggest issue with lung cancer, as we know, is that smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. Without a doubt, 85 percent of all lung cancer deaths are caused from smoking.

Karen Carpenter

If we decide we want 100%, then all public places, that includes restaurants, will be no smoking.

Harold Smith

A lot of kids in high school are not daily smokers. They are sort of social smokers and then they get to college and you see more smoking there than you did before.

Bill Novelli

(Owners) feel that if we impose an anti-smoking ordinance within a very short time, they definitely would face a loss of business and eventually even closure of some of their establishments.

York Chow

Quoting, like smoking, is a dirty habit to which I am devoted.

Carolyn Heilbrun

There is not a smoking gun. What we're seeing is that all the individual genes contribute, but there is no single gene in there that is sufficient to make that virus a killer.

John Treanor

When we think of smoking, we tend to think of adults and older adults dying of lung cancer or emphysema. What we miss is the fact that they're dying as adults because of decisions they made as a child.

Michael Ericksen

Even after years of smoking cessation, levels of atherosclerosis are significantly higher in former smokers compared with never-smokers.

Dr. Sachin Agarwal

Adults are our role models and should not be smoking on our school grounds where we see it and breathe it.

Debbie Phillips

I have customers who come here just because there's no smoking.

Jessica Kruesel

The outlook is mixed: one group of developing countries is advancing in the fight against smoking, like Thailand and Brazil; but another is lagging behind, probably influenced by the tobacco industry.

Derek Yach

They come hand in hand. If you are a smoker, drinking and smoking more or less go literally hand in hand.

Anthony Clark

I think reasonable people recognize that if we gave the keys to the business to the federal government, youth smoking is not going to go away.

Steve Parrish

I'm not smoking crack. I'm definitely stressed out.

Dave Chappelle

I thought he was just outside smoking and talking on the phone like he normally does. He probably just lost his balance and fell overboard.

Jeff Kish

If we were here talking about dangerous dogs smoking, the city would have authority. This is not about smoking. This is about which level of government can regulate it.

Patrick O'neill

In fact, on May 12, 2005, the department had filed a brief arguing that the $130 billion smoking-cessation program was indeed forward-looking and would prevent and restrain future wrongful conduct by the tobacco industry.

Michael Fiore

Smoking, obesity, and alcohol abuse are leading contributors to preventable death in the United States. By early adulthood, a large proportion of Americans smoke, are overweight, and drink alcohol to excess.

Duane Alexander

We have had very good participation in smoking cessation classes, especially as the date nears.

Cathy Bowers

But (this finding) could be one other reason for people to quit smoking if they are smoking now.

Jennifer Glass

Smoking is bad for you. You don't have to take my word for that. Just look a package of cigarettes and see what it says. We don't regard smoking as an acceptable method of delivery for a medicine.

Mark Rogerson

Everybody experiences stress. The key is how effectively people deal with and manage stress. People who turn to comfort food or smoking are starting a vicious cycle. Their attempts to reduce stress can actually lead to health problems that result in increased stress.

Russ Newman

I would call this the smoking gun. All of us have been concerned and have guessed that the data we have so far has been the tip of the iceberg.

Gregory Poland

We haven't found any eureka, or smoking gun so far.

John Chapman

Maybe we'll try it non smoking and still, if worse case scenario as far as daily and monthly income requires, maybe we'll have to go back and re-do things.

Carl Meyers

In some outdoor environments, like football grounds and railway stations, there is genuine cause for concern. But in other places, there are pretty obvious facts about air circulation which mean the potential for harm is far less. Certainly, stopping people smoking in their homes is taking things a bit far.

Deborah Arnott

We certainly are disappointed in the council's action and we remain concerned about negative economic impact that we know a smoking ban is going to have on the district's hospitality businesses.

Andrew Kline

The other thing is, when you see somebody smoking and you're trying to quit, you get that urge again. It doesn't help people quit.

Richard Roberts

We know smoking tobacco is not good for kids, but a lot of other things aren't good. Drinking's not good. Some would say milk's not good.

Bob Dole

I loved the guy. But you'd be out with him at dinner and he'd be smoking a cigarette and dropping the ashes into his peg leg. I mean, it was a bit disconcerting.

Billy Pierce

Three of us hung in there to the bitter end. I encourage anyone who wants to quit smoking to take the class.

Barbara Warren

Smoking puts you at increased risk of losing your sight in old age and the more you smoke the higher the risk. Smoking also increases the risk for the people living with you. So these are two good reasons to stop smoking.

John Yates

What cardiac age means is that, for example, a person may only be 30 years old but have the heart of a 50-year-old. The reason for this could be because he's smoking too much or has a lot of stress in his life.

Peter Salgo

The differences were more pronounced at lower levels of smoking, but all of these differences were highly statistically significant. At much higher levels of smoking, these racial and ethnic differences were modest, suggesting some type of saturation level of the carcinogenic effect.

Christopher Haiman

Drinking alcohol and smoking are bad habits. Please stay away from these. I am not smoking these days.

Shah Rukh Khan

The way the ordinance stands, now all one has to do is post a piece of binder paper with a no smoking sign on it.

Joshua Howard

Even though doctors and health providers all know how harmful smoking is, progressive medicine and health plans still fall short in providing these services or reimbursing for them.

Michael Eriksen

I have a choice. I can go to a bar or restaurant that has non-smoking. I don't think it's fair for the government to tell us what we can do with our bodies. How can you say one business can't but another business can?

Gary Richardson

Our efforts are to promote a healthy lifestyle, and smoking and tobacco use are the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the U.S. And, anything we can do to prevent that is a good thing.

Alexis Williams

He doesn't have any smoking gun that points anywhere.

Brian Cosgrove

Maybe some kids will stop smoking because they really don't have that much money.

Patricia Murphy

Except for smoking, obesity is now the number one preventable cause of death in this country. Three hundred thousand people die of obesity every year.

C. Everett Koop

To me, that's the smoking gun, the flashing light, the thing I'd like to explore more.

John Nichols

Having untreated sleep apnea is medically equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day in terms of what it does to your health.

Jerome Siegel

While the importance of cigarette smoking in the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis remains controversial, case control studies among patients with the disease support the current findings in the familial form of the disease as well as sporadic forms, and consistently indicate that cigarette smoking is a risk factor for the development of the disease.

Mark Steele

The effect of cigarettes on the risk of disease is so powerful and it's so difficult to control for factors like the intensity and duration of smoking that the only way to eliminate the bias is to look at people who have never smoked.

Joann Manson

There?s a huge debate within the industry and The Smoking Gun is now attached to it.

Henry Schleiff

There is no smoking gun in IBM's 10K.

Steve Milunovich

You want to have two guys making out in front of your 4-year-old? It's OK with them. A guy smoking a joint, blowing the smoke into your little kid's face? OK with them. And I'm not exaggerating here. This is exactly what the secular movement stands for.

Bill O'reilly

The issue I will highlight is the chemicals in cigarette smoking that can lead to the changes in the genes that cause cancer. This will be a good opportunity for people to learn more about the various aspects of cancer.

Alan Lau

He was smoking a cigarette when the delivery guy came to the door. The delivery person said he wouldn't deliver the tank unless he put it out, and told him about how dangerous it was.

William Cataldo

In looking at cognitive function and how it relates to drinking, I wondered how other variables, such as additional drug use, might have an influence. That is when it was found that smoking had a correlation.

Jennifer Glass

Surprisingly, only 35 smoking rooms were reserved through 2010. We called all 35 people and let them know of the new policy.

Rob Doughty

Collectively, these results indicate that most smokeless tobacco products are not necessarily a safe alternative to smoking and are inferior to medicinal nicotine products with respect to carcinogen exposure, ... Smokeless tobacco products should not be considered an acceptable substitute for cigarette smoking, especially when relatively harmless medicinal nicotine products are available.

Stephen Hecht

We suspected that smoking was a cause of digital anomalies, but we didn't expect the results to be so dramatic.

Benjamin Chang

We've crossed a threshold today. We're going to have a comprehensive smoking ban approved by early next year.

Phil Mendelson

I don't think it's occurred to people. Especially people who commute from the suburbs, they may not have been paying close attention to the smoking ban and they may not realize.

Judy Pardonnet

He helps them in a different way, by being down to earth. The goal is to talk to them, keep [the boxers] grounded, keep them from drinking and smoking and give them a little soul. Just a little bit. Just enough soul to know you are on the right track.

Sam Watson

There's really no smoking gun. I'd like to blame it on climate change or global warming, but I can't.

Paul Douglas

Once you see people smoking crack, things change. It became more of a drug investigation at that point.

Paul Hunter

Samantha the Skunk is a story about not smoking. The kids drew pictures after they hear the program.

Cathi Kellett

We all understand teenage smoking is a problem and we're trying to get the kids to stop.

William Dempkowski

Even after years of smoking cessation, levels of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) are significantly higher in former smokers compared with never-smokers.

Dr. Sachin Agarwal

It was a shot in the dark. No smoking gun led us to Danny Rolling.

Alan Coleman

If they are getting chemotherapy for their bladder cancer and smoking marijuana to increase their appetite, they may be undoing the benefits of chemotherapy.

Dr. Martha Terris

I knew a man who gave up smoking, drinking, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.

Johnny Carson

But when you're talking about smoking, the message doesn't change; it stays the same. Elimination of smoking will reduce lung cancer incidence.

Christopher Haiman

If you get infertility, then you know that the molecule is required for fertility, and this is our 'smoking gun.' Basically, we are asking the animal to tell us what it requires for its fertility, and then we try to understand how it works on a molecular level.

Andrew Singson

The film has less to do with smoking and more to do with parenting .

Jason Reitman

Smoking is one of the leading causes of all statistics.

Liza Minnelli

You're the one who likes cigars right? Try smoking this.

Franco Nero

The calendar is crowded, time is short, and I'm not so sure but that time may claim the smoking bill.

Rep. Walt Mcleod

The more times people try to stop smoking, the better chances they have of eventually stopping it altogether.

Karen Steinberg

We had no one except Boss Hogg smoking -- and I was always chastising him for that.

James Best

If you identify a population at risk for death, it's much easier to get them to change their behavior -- both to never start smoking in the beginning and to stop if they are smoking and have this high-risk gene.

Harmon Eyre

I have tabled a motion to the upcoming NPC session, suggesting the State Council (the Chinese cabinet) formulate regulations on smoking ban in public places as early as possible.

Chen Guiyun

We still have several thousand children a day who start smoking every single day in this country and half of them will go on to be chronic smokers.

Richard Carmona

By that time, Rebus will be 59 and, for a CID officer, he is getting fairly long in the tooth. They will have brought in the smoking ban by 2007, so he will definitely want to retire to somewhere in the sun for a drink and a smoke.

Ian Rankin

We've stopped putting water on them and there is no smoking.

Brian Dixon

We have a lot of mulch fires at different locations because of the dry conditions. With the dry conditions, people discard their smoking material into the mulch and it causes problems.

Jeff Garrison

The effects of smoking on human health are enormous; yet, little is known about the pharmacologic effects of smoking on the human body apart from the effects of nicotine.

Joanna Fowler

The one thing we learned in 2005 is there is no simple answer or smoking gun for this. This is a tough problem.

Chuck Armor

Rules will be simple. Be safe, be respectful, pick up after yourselves. Smoking is outside only. No weapons, no violence, no alcohol, no drugs.

Laura Thielen

We're incredibly proud that 'Smoking' is our debut film and we're thrilled to be partners with Fox Searchlight. Jason, the cast and crew did an amazing job bringing the film to the screen and our experience at Toronto has been a dream come true.

David Sacks

It is now proved beyond doubt that smoking is one of leading causes of statistics.

Fletcher Knebel

The congressman shares their disdain of smoking. He's not prepared to support the legislation because there are a lot of questions. That's why it's important when these presentations are made in classrooms that all of the information is provided for them.

Brad Hahn

They were all cracking beers open and just enjoying themselves because they didn't have to go to work. I was waiting for a bullet to come through and shatter all over us. I was smoking my brains out too.

Steve Jocz

We want to make sure everyone has a working smoking detector. This is the signature event of the department.

Greg Patterson

Both are in part about inequality between rich and poor. For many, the objection on smoking was that a partial ban would have increased inequalities in health. With the education bill, the objection is that it will increase inequality.

John Curtice

Science has already proven the dangers of smoking, alcohol, and Chinese food, but I can still ruin soft drinks for everyone!

Yeardley Smith

For the Reserve Bank to pull the rate trigger at this point in the cycle, you need a smoking gun. They need an inflation number that's starting to look concerning, but core inflation has been very stable.

Sally Auld

There needs to be a standard rule regarding smoking in the Upper and Lower houses.

Tamisuke Watanuki

They tell you it's a 'no-smoking' section, but then you get the smoke coming at you from right across the aisle. I shouldn't have to put up with that.

Brandon Walker

Patients that enroll in smoking cessation programs on their own are highly motivated to quit, but represent a very small portion of the smoking population. Using an existing health channel to reach smokers who vary in their motivation level to quit could have a significant public health impact.

Belinda Borrelli

I don't have the manpower to go out and check to see if people are smoking. We had to cut down on labor as it is because of the loss of business.

Carol Lewis

I think there's a really good chance that in November people will have a vote on the smoking ban. I think it would be a very cathartic exercise. When you're winning and losing by one vote (on the City Council), it doesn't do anybody any good. There's no clear consensus.

Jim Farrell

In the 1990s Maine had one of the highest youth smoking rates in the country among teenagers - and between 1997 and 2005 it declined almost 60 percent.

John Kirkwood

It seemed like at critical points, we'd lose. We found out this morning that they had lost to Palma (Monday) and we came out smoking.

Ryan Chisolm

Kids are bombarded by images of smoking. It is hard to pin any one thing as the cause of something when we are dealing with a behavior this complex.

Thomas Glynn

Of course, the best-case scenario is if the parents or guardians can quit smoking. But that's not always immediately possible. Another option is for parents to institute a no-smoking rule in the home and the car and allow no exceptions to this rule. It is best if smokers always go outside to smoke, and this strategy may also help the parents to eventually quit.

Jill Halterman

Obviously, nothing would make us happier than to have every one of our employees take advantage of our smoking cessation program.

Stephanie Jones

It's the outlook that is causing some worry because they still have things like the race broadcasts and smoking bans to work through.

Paul Trainor

He's getting the same treatment as everyone else. To us, he is just one of 500 inmates. He's not smoking marijuana.

Dena Erwin

Now that we know that smoking produces detrimental effects on treatment outcomes, it makes sense that this is a contributing factor that could affect the success of a clinical trial.

Ellen R. Gritz

All four groups came back and said they understood the need to eliminate smoking, but there had to be some compromise. There are a lot of people on campus who might have felt differently.

Eugene Dial

Our goal in smoking-related research is to detect those who are susceptible to nicotine, identify the best ways to prevent these persons from beginning to smoke and, if they do, determine how best to break the nicotine addiction that can result.

Ellen R. Gritz

The best news in this year's report is the significant decline in cigarette smoking, not just because that ultimately is the most deadly drug but also because it confirms that drug abuse is best reduced through sensible public health measures rather than criminal penalties, prosecutions and prisons.

Ethan Nadelmann

The only way to stop smoking is to just stop ð no ifs, ands or butts.

Edith Zittler

There's no smoking gun in this study. The answers are all in there — but we're just not smart enough to figure them out yet.

Evan Eichler

This is a place to hold conversations. We had eight or 10 people in here for New Year's, drinking port and smoking cigars.

Ed Warner

I rode in the rest of the way to campus. I told the driver when I got off that the rear brakes were sticking and smoking.

Eric Poe
