Sorry, Clark. I should have been clearer -- I was spoofing myself for

Thank you again for your comment about which USB port I was using,

I wonder how much of that goo is from the tobacco itself and how much

lingers 10 times as long from regular cigarette smoke as it does from
additive-free cigarettes. This isn't proof, but it is suggestive.
