Why women smoke and what it costs us

Article Abstract:

A woman who began smoking at age 12 explains why she started and why she still smokes at 30. She says that smoking is a part of her, and that the 13 months that she gave it up, she felt a part of herself missing. She concedes that she needs to quit, and she is well aware of the hazards of smoking, but giving it up permanently will mean letting go of a treasured past.

Article Abstract:

Rock in the 80's was shaped by technical changes as much as social ones. The introduction of music videos and compact discs changed the way in which fans experienced rock. The decade also produced a generation gap within the music between older and younger fans.
