As one that is fully convinced he will take up the old pipe once the mortgage is paid and insurance is no longer required!

I am sure smoking is OK in it's place - In English pubs there used to be a smoke room. Why not re-introduce such a concept?

Anyhow, on a different tack, I am sure it will never be as politicaly correct in the USA as it is in the UK to nip outside for a quick fag...;-)
