I went to see a friend perform at a club a dozen years ago and there was one woman at the next table smoking. It would just begin to clear out again and she'd light up. When I got home I tossed my clothes into the washer, took a shower to get the smoke out of my hair and out of my eyes and nose. A lot of us politely suffered, no one feeling comfortable enough to ask her to take it outside, though I wish I had.

Janie, if you can quit, you'll feel better, no soap box here. And by smoking outside you keep your house a lot easier to live in or visit, and if you decide to sell, much easier to quickly put on the market. When my mother's house was going up for sale she had a cleaning crew come in and wash down all of the painted surfaces. We had a high gloss enamel on the walls and ceiling in the kitchen and were astonished to see that the room was originally painted a very light eggshell white. We had been looking at ochre walls not realizing how much they were smoke stained.
