A well-dressed man is standing in front of a NYC skyscraper having a cigarette...

when a journalist walks up to him.

"Excuse me, sir" he says "My name is Jack Hall and I'm a reporter from the New York Times. Would you mind answering a few questions if you're not in a rush?"

"I'm not in a rush, so ask away" says the man

"Perfect. So I see that you're smoking. How long have you been doing it?"

"I'm 43 now, and I've been smoking since I was 16"

"And what cigarettes do you smoke?"

"I smoke Marlboros"

"And how many packs would you say you smoke in a day"

"About two"

The reporter gets out his calculator and enters some numbers and then turns to the man.

"Sir, did you know that if you didn't smoke, you could buy that skyscraper with the money you would have saved?"

"Oh really?" says the man "and do **you** smoke?"

"No, I don't" says the reporter

"And do you have a skyscraper?"

"No, I don't have one"

"Well, I smoke, and that skyscraper is **mine**"
