Well, actually, clubs and pubs were all I was referring to.  I really don't
have
a problem with not smoking in a hall.

I don't smell it on myself, but I do smell it when I first pick up my coat,
or return home
after being away.  I will hand you that...  I don't like the smell either.
But I like the
smell of Italian food and perfume even less... and lets not even talk about
airfresheners and household disinfectants!  ewwwwww...
