This story was in a movie back in the mid/late 70s. (the link to the different stories in the movie was a cat walking from one story to another, if that helps)

A guy goes to a stop-smoking office and the manager tells the smoker that he must sign a contract that he won’t ever smoke again. The smoker signs, then goes about his business, and whenever he snuck a cig, something bad would happen. He talked to the guy who recommended him, and noticed the recommender’s wife only had 3 fingers on one hand.

Does this story ring a bell for anyone? I was telling my daughter about it and she said she would like to read it. I thought it may have been an early Steven King story, but I wouldn’t know where to find it.

Thanks in advance! :)

Great story - by THE MASTER - Stephen King. I think it was in the book NIGHT SHIFT.

Oops - this has already been answered - quite well, too! Sorry about that.
