I used to smoke, but haven't in at least ten years now. Now, my wife or
I can smell it a mile away, and if we come in contact with someone
smoking, can smell it on our clothes when we get home. I can tell when
I'm within ten foot of a smoker, even if they aren't smoking.

We were in New Orleans a while back and though we asked for a non-smoking
room, we were assigned to one that smelled as if someone had been
deliberately smoked to death inside it. The drapes, the bed covers, the
rugs all STANK of smoke to the extent that I had to wonder when they last
cleaned anything.

If you want to make yourself sick, buy small portable UV lamp and examine
the floors and the bedcovers. Yuk. Now, it's even worse. I've known two
people that have brought home bedbugs after staying at what most would
consider top-end hotel chains. If the guest before you had them, you'll
get them, too.

I got a $10 discount for complaining when something bit the hell out of me
in a motel in Kansas City.

Sometimes, when I buy something from Ebay, it's saturated with cigarette
smells (or worse). The last item I bought smelled of cherry pipe tobacco,
two smells that definitely DON'T belong together.

So, do all antismokerists who join the church automatically come down
with hypersensitivity disorder?

Thanks,
