I can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke and it makes me crazy when I step outside for a breath of fresh air and get a lungful of someone else's smoke instead. That being said, I exhale and move upwind. I would never make my entertainment choices based on whether there would be smokers there or doing the entertaining. I would just know that when I got home I would have to shower before bed.MysteryChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12897646948842036336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28601411.post-42993871972628142122010-01-27T19:17:07.240-05:002010-01-27T19:17:07.240-05:00Phfrankie: Ha...I love you.
