http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/smoking_dc "Thu Jan 10, 11:04 AM ET BERLIN (Reuters) - The owner of a small German computer company has fired three non-smoking workers because they were threatening to disturb the peace after they requested a smoke-free environment. ... 'I can't be bothered with trouble-makers,' Thomas was quoted saying. 'We're on the phone all the time and it's just easier to work while smoking. Everyone picks on smokers these days. It's time for revenge. I'm only going to hire smokers from now on.'" Crazy!

Awww, bummer! I trusted yahoo news and didn't fly to Germany to verify the facts myself.

dear smokers: I will sit and share your companionship anytime, just ask Chris who blew smoke in my face all night one evening not too long ago

I think they were Lucky Strikes, but I could be wrong all I got for my troubles was a sinus headache, not a buzz

They're Bali Hai cloves. Sorry, didn't realize you were downwind of me.  except for the expression of being glad to be there, I am in a total jest mood BB; I was not bothered at all by anything you did or said, well I was a little upset you were better dressed than I was - but you have to admit Search Me was dressed to the nines!
