How to spot a non-smoker (and perhap non-coffee drinker as well)  :)

I've seen people lose their house rather than give up smoking, even by a
little bit.  Ok, slight exaggeration, but not far from it.

Many years ago, I was woken up early in the morning (ie 4am) and asked if I
knew why packs of cigarettes came in sizes of 20 (or maybe 25).  Naturally,
'F* off, it's 4 in the morning' is not the correct answer, but many of you
knew that already.

Allegedly, the number of waking hours times the length of time it takes for
the nicotine hit to wear off means you can start a fresh pack first thing in
the morning, and have the last one in bed at night (just before burning to
death).

I suspect a coincidence, but knowing the research the cigarette companies
did, I'm not quite sure.

Anyway filthy habit blah blah blah.
