I was a smoker for many years... everyone in the family smoked - father, mother, and brother. I was a dumb kid in an industrial town in Iowa - constant opportunity and social pull to consume nicotine. After awhile I didn't want to be a

Of course, and to be clear I'm excited there are more cross-platform options even though I've had a reluctant history with Dart.
