Refuge for a Smoker?
I certainly could relate to your essay
 on airport smoking.  Living here in the upper 
left hand corner of the map (Oregon), just about
 everywhere is a whole day's flying away.  So,
 after 6 or 8 hours on a plane, O'Hare is just
 so very accommodating.  They have restrooms every
 2 gates, but NOWHERE to smoke, except out in the 
sub-zero gale (especially lovely when returning 
from a Caribbean cruise).  Twenty-five percent of the population
stills smokes, and believe me, if that number of
 people did ANYTHING else, it would be a federal
 law that we be accommodated.  My solution:
 nicotine gum. A little bit of that, and I can
 actually refrain from strangling the screaming 
little seat kickers who always sit behind me. 
Thanks for letting me get that off my (hack, hack)
 chest. Love your show.
