"People in the group that had been led to believe they had poor impulse control were more likely to leave the cigarette on the desk or in the other room. Those who had been told they had good impulse control risked holding it or even putting it in their mouths. But the closer to their mouth someone left the cigarette, the more likely they were to light up. "People with the most confidence were the most likely to fail," says Nordgren." - Hanna Wiszniewska
