Does Laura Bush really smoke cigarettes? Did she ever? Did she quit then start again? Evidence please. I need to win, or at least start, a bar argument.

Washington Post:
Once, as family members geared up for the day's athletic contests during one of her first visits to the Bush vacation retreat in Kennebunkport, Maine, one of the matriarchs inquired of Laura, "And what do you do?"posted by ericb at 1:37 PM on April 25, 2007
"I read, I smoke, and I admire," Laura responded, according to Barbara Bush's recollection.
Here is a handy "internet web search" to help you in your quest.

I knew she was a smoker or at least a former smoker by the characteristic wrinkling around her mouth. It's a dead giveaway, and I remember Googling to see if I was right about it. I was. I felt smug. Then I had a cigarette of my own, and as I lit up, all my smugness vanished, and only a dull sense of shame remained.
But yes, she used to be a smoker, for sure.

Response by poster: Does anyone have a recent picture of Mrs. Bush lighting up? I have only been able to find obviously doctored ones.
