The DH smokes, Ginny, much to my chagrin. That said, I had a visit
with a neurosurgeon about my back (spinal stenosis and a misaligned
disk, thanks to a b*stard from Texas who knocked me halfway down
Copper Mountain skiing a few years ago - could have read the name,
"Rossignol" in the bruise on my back). I'm about to start physical
therapy prepatory to back surgery and he cautioned me about being
around smokers. The DH, who was along for the visit (I didn't want to
have to relay the conversation, 50% of which I'd likely relay
sideways), volunteered that he didn't smoke in the house or around me.
The doc was unimpressed and said I was still getting second hand smoke
from his clothes, his hair, his lungs and that the two worst
candidates for this type of surgery are diabetics and smokers.

I can understand, actually, as the DH doesn't hang his jackets or
coats in the hall closet b/c they stink up all of my jackets and coats
and there is *nothing* you can do to air them out except send them to
the cleaners.
