To illustrate the point:

My first wife NEVER smoked in her entire life ... never even put a cigarette to her lips!! Sadly, it didn't prevent her from dying prematurely of cancer. (albeit not of the lung!)

Point IS, throughout our 24 years of marriage, she never, ever nagged at me for enjoying a cigarette after meals ... whereas, by contrast, I knew a bloke ... proper pain in the , he was ... a regular punter at singles' events I later attended - at a time when smoking in pubs, clubs and dance halls was still the norm. He'd sniff the air on entry ... and furtively remove empty ashtrays from whichever vacant table(s) he chose to sit at - making it patently obvious smokers weren't welcome to *join him. Mind you, he needn't have bothered ... because very few folk [if any] ever *did - or wanted to - not even the other non-smokers !!!
