Last year, the creator of the comic strip "Lulu Eightball" did a comics feature for Baltimore City Paper about her her love/hate relationship with cigarettes, which is now been adapted into book form. These Things Ain't Gonna Smoke Themselves: A Love/Hate/Love/Hate/Love Letter to a Very Bad Habit was released by Bloomsbury this month.
