There's NOTHING wrong with it. My O2 last week was 98%, too. Now, don't get me wrong - I'm no rabid anti-smoking zealot now that I've quit. We both know how good it is to light one up after a good meal. Or good sex. Hell, even after a bad meal or bad sex (Is there such a thing?). LOL! Man, do I miss that part. But you brought up a good point: now that I no longer smoke, I can smell it clinging to the clothes and hair of someone who does, and I think to myself, "My God, I walked through life for thirty years smelling like THAT to other people?!?" I actually stopped and asked myself how many women rejected me simply because I stunk, not because I wasn't a nice guy. And how many jobs I may have been rejected for because of the smell of my clothes at the interview, not because of my resume. Whether we want to admit it or not, it is a factor. Live and learn.

LOL. There were some knock down, drag out fights on FR in years past on whether smokers stunk (or not).
