I have numerous physical reactions when I am around smoking, so I actively work for a smoke-free work and home environment, but I find some of your smoking articles offensive. If there is a smoker out there that feels these articles help him to quit smoking - continue to write them and I'll 'n' by them. But if it offends some and doesn't help anyone - please quit. Your other articles are usually very helpful and enjoyable to read. -celeste
