[Max McGarrity]

Have you ever tried asking the smoker nicely to hold his/her cigarette somewhere else...or an even more novel idea, how about moving somewhere the smoke doesn't bother you?

I wouldn't mind your wife's fan OR air freshener; it would simply be another reason to laugh at the foibles of the hyper-sensitive new breed of soccer mom.
