Wilmington, NC – David Sedaris' newest collection of essays includes one called "The Smoking Section" in which he describes trying to quit smoking and trying to learn Japanese simultaneously. He's not the only one to turn his addiction (Smoking, not learning Japanese) into humor. Frankly, it's about the only way to save your sanity.
