Smoking kills...your furnishings.

Similar experience: I bought a marble and gilt bronze table lamp a number of years ago from an Antiques dealer that when I went to clean it I couldn't believe my eyes at the disgusting brown layer of nicotine clinging to it. Took several hours to clean it (mild solution of diluted ammonia works wonders). I had assumed the gilding on it was matt finish, and was amazed to see its gleaming gold surface when cleaned. I'm a former smoker, quit 2 1/2 half years ago after years of failed attempts. Will never go back.

David, you know you'll quit smoking by elimating all the places you used to smoke.

I smoked for years and have now been smoke-free for 18 or so.

Of course, you could get pregnant. That really helps.

That story is more effective than any Surgeon General's warning on a box of cigarettes.

Really good point. However, my neighbor 'takes it outside' and I end up with cigarette smoke in my house. it comes in through the windows. Can't open a window or the patio doors some days.
