I think she started when she was 20 (1936) and did not stop until 1976, so even by 1966 she spent a great deal. But went cold turkey at that point, although she did have pulmonary issues later on.

You can't blame her for starting smoking back then. She was 20, it was 1936 and they didn't know it was unhealthy. She probably looked fabulous and fashionable!

Cold turkey was the only way I ever quit anything. It takes more discipline to wean off something for me than to just turn the page and be done with it.

She put a carton of Kents in a drawer, said it was there, and never had another. I give her credit for that.

I get that. She was done. I didn't get rid of my liquor when I quit. I wasn't going to throw out good liquor! I might have guests!

That took some will power to keep it around and not partake.

It really didn't take any willpower at all. I was done.
