About smoking

Summary of an essay in the book "The Tipping Point",
it's about how to stop teenage smoking which leads to
smoking addiction.

Key conclusions :

1. it's in the genes, the amount of nicotine you can take.
2. the people who affect the teenagers the most are,
not their parents or other adults, it are other teenagers.

solution : addiction requires crossing a certain threshold
of nicotine you take per day. if cigarette companies
put less nicotine in each cigarette, that threshold would
never be crossed and no one would become an addict.
