ABSTRACT
Tobacco use is like entering a dark house that is occupied by a psychotic murderer in a movie thriller. We all know that we should not go in, but something draws the risk-takers in us and among us. For those who enter, risks are compounded the more time that is spent in the house of danger and the deeper they wander into the house and away from escape routes. To make matters worse, the victims-to-be typically separate from anyone who entered the house with them so that they are on their own trying to survive. Once-bold adventurers become trembling and disoriented pawns of the murderer. Frustrated observers must wonder: Why did they enter the house? Why did they separate? Why don’t they turn on the lights or use fl ashlights to see the dangers before it is too late? Why didn’t they bring protective gear or relevant weapons to fi ght the murderer?
