OK George, I apologise - not for the views which I firmly hold, but for the way in which I expressed them. Sometimes pain, even old pain, gets in the way of reasonableness.

But I still wish that some (not all, there are some considerate smokers around, and certainly you're one of them George) smokers would accept that non-smokers' rights are just as important as theirs, and that it's very unreasonable indeed to expect people like me, who don't smoke, to ingest their waste.

That's all. Over and out,
