Famous quotes containing the word tobacco:
“Sure smokers have made personal choices. And they pay for those choices every day, whether sitting through an airline flight dying for a smoke, or dying for a smoke in the oncology wing of a hospital. The tobacco companies have not paid nearly enough for the killing.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“when her husband came,
complaining about the tobacco spit on him,
they decided to run North
for a free evening.”
—Carole Gregory Clemmons (b. 1945)
“There’s nothing quite like tobacco: it’s the passion of decent folk, and whoever lives without tobacco doesn’t deserve to live.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
