I was going to stay out of this but if you don't smoke or a X smoker, you can't believe how sensitive you are to the smell. I can get out in a parking lot with not another person around and smell the smoke. I can smell it if I have the A/C on in the car and the car in front of me has a person smoking in it. I was given a big box of tying materials about a year ago. I had to throw it out because it smelled real strong of smoke. I am a X smoker and have not smoked a cigarette in over 50 years. Believe me, I can smell it a mile away. This is not intended to step on any toes, just to make you aware that we can smell it. Tony
