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

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

Nope. I smoked 3 packs of unfiltered Camels a day for nearly 15 years.
I quit in 1984. Haven't touched one since. Often while working,I still
find myself reaching into my pocket looking for cigarettes. I still
like the smell, amd I don't avoid it at all.
