Maybe, but my back surgeon (who isn't going to get my business until
I'm too crippled to walk across the room) told the DH that *he* had to
quit smoking to increase my success at surgery - I don't smoke, but he
does. Says that even though he doesn't smoke in the house or the car,
he brings it in on his clothes, hair, etc. <shrug> I also have to plow
through the smokers outside of office buildings or walking past on the
street, but don't see how that can be avoided.
One thing that annoys me about smokers is that my employer gets more
work out of me than a smoker, as I don't leave the building for 10
mins. every hour.
