  That's a wonderful idea for an ashtray, isn't it?  I
  believe this to be yet another example of the, shall
  we say, somewhat perverse sensibilities of the anti-
  smoking community.  I would like to suggest that
  these "passive"smokers would more aptly be called
  passive-aggressive.  It is amazing that out of
  all the dangers around (and the many carcinogenic 
  dangers), it is only the individual smoker that
  arouses such passion in these, shall we say,
  lunatics.  It's really okay to not like smoking.
  It's really ok to not smoke and avoid people
  who do.  It's really not ok to be vicious and
  sadistic about it.  It's not even amusing.
