It may be a movie myth but it is perpetuated by hospitals and oxygen tanks that say flammable and have warning signs about smoking. I experienced this back in my youth when I sometimes smoked a cigarette from time to time. We were at a resort 11,000 feet elevation. The first evening we all noticed that cigarettes lasted forever. On the second day I had mountain sickness and had to be taken off the mountain. Such good memories. ;)

@Thriftymaid -- Please tell us where you received your PhD in a behavioral science before you go criticizing others.
(Note: I happen to agree with you. Many people on the Internet are woefully malinformed about how human cognition actually works. But I count you among that number....;-D...)
