I'm back after a week in Kentucky. There seem to be more die-hard smokers in Kentucky (where lots of tobacco is grown) than even in North Carolina (where all of the tobacco companies are based). We stopped at one antique store that had a prominent sign outside "Smokers Welcome!" I knew I shouldn't have gone in, but my husband was looking for antique light fixtures. As soon as we walked in my sinuses plugged up and I got a headache. There is no way I would have bought anything in that store. There were several books I would have been interested in, but they were infused with the smell of stale smoke. There is no way to get that smell out of books. Smokers have the freedom to smoke in their own homes and stores and I have the right to refuse to buy anything they are selling. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
