I'm not being a "nicotine nazi."  I breathed my family's smoke the entire 
time I grew up.  I just care about Kate's health, and I already had a 
good friend (my age) who is suffering from lung cancer.  It's a voice of 
concern.  I'm from Los Angeles where I think the city went too far 
banning cigarette smoking in restaurants (even at certain areas outside) 
outright.  And I have a sister who once had voice lessons when she was a 
kid.  She now hardly can sing at all, and she smokes a pack and a half a 
day.  I'm not moralistic.  I'm concerned.  And yes, I inhale smog all the 
time, maybe more than you.  But I can't help it in the environment I live 
in. (But I will be more than happy to own an electric car someday and do 
my thing.)
