    I was gonna say that some people who smoke cigars use them on a very occasional basis, but it sounds like she’s had a very long-running nicotine habit:

    1. J. K. Rowling

    Not only did J. K. Rowling create the Harry Potter universe, she did it while smoking so much that she experienced symptoms of nicotine overdose [1]. Rowling had been smoking since her teen years where she was frequently caught smoking at bus stops with boys in leather jackets [2]. But the author quit smoking in 2000 with a combination of nicotine gum and the popular game, Candy Crush, to keep her mind occupied when she’d otherwise be giving in to cigarette cravings [3].

    I suppose she un-quit at some point.
