    Unfortunately, nicotine addiction has nothing on the power of a thumb and a soft, blue blanket.

    Ah, yes, back in the sixties when smoking was still socially acceptable. Our teachers were mostly smokers, and when they did the Health class unit on the dangers of smoking, someone would always ask them why they smoked. The standard response was, “Well, we’re all gonna die sometime anyway.” and then they’d tell you about their granddad who smoked two packs a day and lived to be ninety five, or whatever.

    Nowadays, at least here in Europe, if they show an old film on TV and someone is smoking, they pixilate the ciggy out.

    We are now in this story arc from the time when anti smoking PSA’s started to air during TV commercial breaks mostly in late night pre TV sign off hours back in 1967.

    Is there a patch Linus can wear to get over his addiction?

    Didn’t Linus make a similar challenge to his teacher about her stopping biting her nails? As I recall, she stopped, but eventually relented and gave L back his blanket.

    Y’know, Linus continued attempts to try and hang onto his blanket like this actually has helped a number of people break bad habits themselves. I know Miss Othmar was able to give up chewing on her nails due to a similar challenge she made with Linus, and I’m sure she wasn’t the only other one who’s done something like this.

    We’ll see about that. Giving up an addiction is not that easy, believe me.

    George Burns, when asked in his late 90s if his doctor knew he still smoked, Burns said, "No … he’s dead.’’
