I remember a long time ago in NPR (i think), the debate was on having a "Smoking Section" in public places. A frazzeled woman called in highstrung and said: "A Smoking section in a public place is like a peeing section in the swimming pool!!!!" I still laugh at the analogy. As for saving money: I agree with Republican, I have seen non-smoking women addicted to shopping and men addicted to gambling. Not much saving in either. But, Cigarrette smoking IS injurious to health if in case you did not know! :P
