He spent the last twenty years of his life campaigning against smoking. He would have started at a time when it still wasn't clear just how bad smoking was, and then he was in the grips of addiction. I feel bad for him and I applaud that he changed his stance.

Yet, he did not quit until he was diagnosed with COPD in 2006.

"Kids! Don't do this! But I still do!"

Wait, maybe that's an even more effective way to demonstrate how addictive cigarettes are, in an effort to discourage people from ever starting.
