I don't smoke around people who don't like it...

And just how do you manage that neat little trick, Laura?

Since you are a smoker, I suspect that you do not know just how much your sense of smell has deteriorated, and you probably do not realize just how far away a non-smoker can be from your cigarette and still be troubled by it.

You might think that, oh, 50 feet would be plenty of separation, but if you lit up a cigarette within 50 feet of me, I would know it in a few seconds. I'd be too polite (actually, probably just too much of a wimp) to say anything about it, but it would make me unhappy.
