In truth, the last nuber I saw stated that cigarettes atr _four times_ as 
addictive as heroin.  And, as I stated before, courtesy cuts both ways.
I try to avoid subjecting 'innocent bystanders' to my habit, and I know 
of few (read: NO) smokers who smoke in public enclosed spaces.  
Tolerance, accomodation, compromise...goodness, such courtesies shouldn't 
be as difficult as this thread seems to indicate.

And, if you show me the same courtesy I try to show you, neither does my 
smoking.
