...lighting up during an interview that did air--twice. Crowe chain-smoked on the show and at one point brandished a pack of Marlboros. The following week, during its "Mailbag" segment, 60 Minutes showed portions of the footage again after viewers wrote in to complain about Crowe's habit.

...there's demotivational syndrome, an inability to focus on anything beyond the next fix. TIME: Is it addictive? Greenfield : That depends how we define addiction. 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.
