Kathryn's boyfriend smoked and at age 16 she became addicted too. Imagine being offered $1,200 to quit and being unable. But Kathryan openly admits her chemical dependency.

Is the lesson they teach that it's ok for adult role models to be addicted to destructive and deadly chemicals? Should they compel youth to breathe and smell what their own deadened sense of smell cannot?
