It has already been posted (or, at least, quoted from), but one of the frustrations of this thread is that cold, hard statistical fact seems to cut little ice with some of the determined smokers.

Puts me in mind of a time when, as an impetuous teenager, I was losing a game of snooker on a full-size table, (and losing quite badly), but refused to concede even when we got down to the black ball, on the grounds that I could still technically win if only I could get a couple of bunker snookers (with one or both balls obscured by nestling against the cushion right over one of the pockets). Silly me.
