Did Ruth Madoff smoke cigarettes?

In Brian Ross's book, "The Madoff Chronicles", he talks about how "Little Rick" would go up to Spanish Harlem to score blow for the brokers/investment bankers and also marijuana for Ruth Madoff. My question: Did/does Ruth Madoff smoke cigarettes? She stayed remarkable trim all her life and is still quite trim (perhaps she is still smoking marijuana to deal with the mess), so it would make sense that she smokes. Does anybody know? If so, what brand? I haven't read all the books yet, so perhaps it is in one of those, or somebody who worked at Madoff Securities would know. Thanks in advance.Betathetapi545 (talk) 13:40, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Doxing

By including her current address, this article effectively doxes her - and potentially subjects her to harassment for her late husband's crimes. I have removed the address from the page, and strongly suggest that it not be reverted. Steven Britton (talk) 17:33, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
