That's not true. I moved from CA (no smoking anywhere - except in your car in a traffic jam :-) to TX where they ask you if you want smoking at restaurants.

I'm afraid the "health-police" have convinced the non-smokers that if they can smell smoke they are going to die. I'm an ex (pipe) smoker. I greatly miss it, but admit I don't suffer so many colds and coughs as I did. Now to the story....

In 1983 I ran my first marathon. I'm not a naturally gifted runner but I get there in the end. That meant my running time was a little under 5 hours. At the finish line I was very grateful to meet my wife with my pipe and baccie. That was one of my most memorable smokes!!

Cheers
