One of my former neighbors, in our elderly housing project, was evicted for smoking in her [non-smoking] apartment. Before she vacated the apartment, we'd had a few conversations. She once described the circumstances when she started smoking at age 13. Her mother and some of her siblings had fled the household, and her father told her [and her older sister] they didn't need to go to school any longer (apparently the school district never inquired why she dropped out of school at 13 years old). Her father said she could work in the family wood lot, cutting trees, etc., and cigarette smoke would keep the flies away. When she later told me that she wasn't sure if her father was the father of one of her children, a whole lot made sense to me. I urged her to call our local domestic violence and sexual assault hotline. I don't know if she did. She's deceased now, and hopefully "at peace".
