Thank you Yussuf for accepting our " rendez-vous ". May I ask you to introduce yourself ?
The affair began at age thirteen but it was brief and never consummated. Like Clinton I did not inhale.
Tobacco only took control of my life much later.
After graduating as a biochemist I went to work at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London (UK) to research the use of biochemical markers (CO) as measures of the absorption of tobacco smoke.
While there, I was lucky to collaborate with Mike Russell's group - they were doing outstanding work on nicotine dependence, NRT and smoking cessation.
