According to the American Cancer Society, more than 46 million people in the United States still light up.

I started smoking when I was in my mid teens and quit when I was 35. I was close to smoking 2 packs a day. In fact when I walked in the studio, back in the day when you could still smoke in the studio, I needed a new pack of cigarettes. I would almost go through that pack in 4 hours.

The way I quit was through a stop smoking clinic. It was all a mental thing, associating smoking with things I didn't like.

I stuck with the plan and I quit in 5 days.That was back in 1985. I really wanted to stop and I stuck with the plan. That's the thing, you have to stick with the plan you have to quit.
