...lighting up during an interview that did air--twice. Crowe chain-smoked on the show and at one point brandished a pack of Marlboros.

Cannabis users have to take ever-larger quantities to achieve the desired effect. Studies show that about 10% of users can't stop their habit, despite wanting to do so.
