Now, now, Mary Grace. Our dear Joan is an addict. That is quite clear. Nicotine
is just as addicting as alcohol or heroin. That's why RJ Reynolds stock is the
one that hasn't nose dived recently. She probably won't appear if not allowed
to smoke. So they make a rare exception for her. I feel more pity for her
addiction than anything.
