I'm reading her letters at the moment and she talks of trying to give up.
Remember, that was the early 50s before smoking was (rightly) condemned and
was the social norm.

We discovered my brother smoked when in his high schools AP Latin final
exam he absent mindedly lit up during the exam. The school called my mom
and apologized but they *had* to suspend him yet really felt bad about
it. My mother laughed heartily over the absurdity of this brilliant kid
getting suspended like some juvenile delinquent.

We'd order at a restaurant and then my Dad would stoke up his pipe on
the basis that as soon as he got it lit the order would arrive.

And quite honestly, while I've never been a smoker, I miss that era.

The term "blog" was coined in 1999, however blogs had been around before
that, they just didn't have a name. Julie Powell started her blog in
August 2002. Julia Child died in August 2004.
