Frederick, age 61, has been smoking for 46 years and has a lot to say about smoking: "I started at 15. [I] used to steal my mother's cigarettes. My mother said that I couldn't smoke until I was 18. When I turned 18, I started smoking one pack each day. I have been trying to quit for ten years, and now I smoke four or five [cigarettes] a day."
